Stuffing around the midrange horn? What is the point of that?
Do you plan on building another set (properly)?

Yes sound systems, I used to restore them as a hobby, but getting too old so now I just listen to them.

I built my Chang BVR's out of 3/4" Avantec.
That's some serious exterior glue OSB subfloor material which is guaranteed to stand up to exposure probably better than anything.
It's as flat as a pancake, and weighs a ton. As far as I'm concerned, it beats ANY MDF.

So did you build those boxes for the 'Model 14's?'

Oops, my bad. I meant 15's. I didn't build them or the Khorn clones and have no plans to build a pair of Khorns either. I would build a set of Model 19's first, but I don't really even have room for them. My Model 15's are just about the perfect size and in my opinion sound better than any Klipsch I have ever had in my home (LaScala, Cornwall, Heresy). Having the same 802-8G driver as the Model 19 the mid highs sound great. I just wish they were crossed a bit lower. 1700 is a bit high compared to 1200. My guess is if I ever build a nice set of cabs it will be for a pair of 604E (yes Bob, I'm after your drivers).

Yew can have my 604Es when yew can pry them outta my cold dead hands. I'm still thinking of building some BillForts for 'em and power them with those Maggie 150 biamps which are crossed at 1100hz.
