Awesome, awesome post. Thanks for putting so much time into it.I have the same speakers (albeit they're not nearly as good looking) and since I got my much-more-humble-than-that analog rig back up and running [Adcom cartridge -> Clearaudio Emotion Table -> Bottlehead Seduction phono stage -> Red Wine Audio Signature 30 Amp] I've been completely blown away by the sound. I can't tell you the number of times I've tried to listen to just one track to see how it sounds and ended up listening to a whole album side because I just got lost in the music.

p.s. If you give the business thing a shot, I'd be very interested in a set of new baffles for my speakers.

Thanks for the kind words, Gary, re:

The issue with making it a business is still a bit tricky. A couple weeks ago, Jim (our woodworker) came over for a visit and we brought up the idea but he made no commitments. Quite honestly, the vibe I got from him is that he's not so much interested in this as a business but rather he feels it's a form of "artistic expression." Well... he didn't actually say that but I'm sure you know what I mean.
So, the strategy Manny and I thought up is to, first, turn Jim into an audiophile. At the same time, maybe have him build one kit at a time perhaps starting with his own or mine. I believe the only way for Jim to commit and keep building is if he actually sees that there's more to these speakers than just pretty looks. While he did hear them at Manuel's, he also had his wife and four kids running around that I don't think he got fully immersed.
Furthermore, Bill Allen has an official representative in our area, Jon T. In fact, Manny bought the assembled kit from Jon. And along with another guy, Alan C, we're all friends! In fact, if Bill came over we'd be all hanging out tomorrow, Bill, Jon, Alan, Manuel and I, having a few beers and perhaps shooting some pool at hustler Jon's. So as far as business initiative is concerned, between the five of us, we can get anything going. At the end of the day, the challenge that remains is keeping Jim in play. So, let's see.
