These are a 2 way kit from Madisound, from the mid 1990s. I made up my own boxes; the crossover is Madisound's design (2nd order ~ 3khz). The woofers are 6.5" Dynaudio and the tweeters are Morrel MDT28 (same as Dynaudio D28).The boxes have 1.5" thick walls and the side panels are sand loaded. The interior is braced and damped. They weigh ~90#s each. The wood is Birch. I recently refinished them with an oil finish. The look good (your wife may disagree) though there are plenty of nicks and pings to distract. They are excellent sounding. I am selling them anyway because I own too much. They like 30w or more and are very revealing of what's upstream. They get along well with PP tetrodes/pentodes due to a flat impedance and phase response. Madisound did a terrific job with the xover, which is sonically invisible. Due to the weight (180#s), they are pick up only. I live 80 miles North of NYC, off of I-87.
