Jusbe,Did you build the cabinets in the photo? Can you tell me about the wood you used? They look very nice. Is that a finished plywood or veneered MDF?
I've been thinking about building something similar (from the Fostex plans on the Madisound site).

In fact, if you follow the link below, you'll find an example of a firm producing Tetsuo Nagaoka's designs.
In general, many Japanese builders have been using Luaun plywood (apparently quite dense and heavy, and therefore well-suited to the task) to build these horns. 21mm thickness is 'de riguer'. The bottom plate of the horn is sectioned to allow a little tuning with lead ingots, or believe it or not, large pebbles! Personally, I like: a) the idea of being able to tune in this way; b) the relatively wide front baffle as a means of fleshing out the midrange; c) the use of a whizzerless FR driver (something is beginning to bug me about the acoustical cross over of my AERs - I hear it as I listen to the more expensive whizzered FR drivers, which are otherwise very appealing); d) the reliance on horn tweeters which, whilst detracting from point-source coherence, allow even more independent tuning; and e) even more tuning possibilities with Fostex P-16 HP diffractor plates.
