I am building sub woofers for them. I have been listening to a lot of jazz lately. Gypsy Jazz and Swing. But I prefer the smaller Swing Bands rather then the large Orchestra's. I have a pair of Audio Concept Sapphire II T's with a pair of Sub Ones, with a push pull KT88 amp in my office system. For the BK-16's I just built a Tubelab S.E. 300B amp.

How are they sounding so far?
Meat; It's the right thing to do. Romans 14:2
Haven't hooked them up yet. Its been windy lately. I'm waiting for a calm day to take them outside to photograph in the sun. Then into the garage to break in for a while before I move them inside. I have some work to do in the den before they go in there. I doubled the thickness of the sides and top and bottom. Filled the two hollows with lead bird shot. And veneered them with Etimoe veneer on the outside. It looks like very curly walnut, but the curl has some great coyancy. The front is quilted maple and the horn is curly maple. I'll post pictures when I take them. I also just built a 300B S.E. amp which needs some break in also. The Psvane treasure MKII tubes say they need 400 hours. So I'd like to get one or two hundred hours on them while I'm doing the work in the den.
Hi Anthony R. Guarnera,
I apologize for going off the thread topic. I'm not being critical, but I'm a word junkie and I haven't been able to find a definition for the word coyancy after doling a Google search and checking 1,065 English language dictionaries (Alpha Dictionary). I am guessing it is a foreign language word. I would truly appreciate it if you would tell me what coyancy means.
I hope I'm not off base in suggesting that Mr. Guarnera may have meant the following word:
Chatoyancy
From Wikipedia - Chatoyancy in woodworking occurs where certain finishes cause the wood grain to achieve a striking three-dimensional appearance, also referred to as "pop-the-grain", "wood iridescence", "moire", "vibrancy", "shimmer" or "glow". This highly sought-after effect is sometimes called "wet look", since wetting wood with water often displays the chatoyancy, albeit only until the wood dries. Oil finishes, epoxy, and shellac can strongly bring out the "wet look" effect.
If I am wrong then my sincere apologies
Leadfoot,
Thank you very much. That is what I meant. My spelling is really bad. I thank you very much for correcting me.
