I don't know where (or if) you went to school, but you may want to try to get a refund. For the prices you listed, you could get TWO pairs of Dave's speakers.Dave charges $775 for a PAIR of speakers in any finish including premium burled walnut. A PAIR of his speakers with upgraded crossover costs $900. That's for the speakers AND crossovers. The upgrade consists of more than just caps, it includes Alpha Core foil inductors (the best), Mills resistors (best), and Audiocap PPMF capicitors. Since math doesn't seem to be your strong suit, all that costs $125 extra for the pair. Ask your friends at VMPS if they use components of that quality in their speakers.
Even his base version has crossover parts that are better than the ones found in many very expensive speakers (Solen metallized propylene capacitors, and 14ga Solen inductors for the woofer series circuit, 16ga Madisound air core inductors.
The drivers are SEAS Excel W18E001 mid-woofer and the Hiquphon OWI tweeter. If you priced the drivers and crossover components in Dave's speakers and purchased them separately, it cost you more than $500 without cabinets. He offers this as a kit for $475. His cabinets are also better than any commercial speakers that I have seen, including VMPS. He is an absolute perfectionist.
Everyone has different tastes when it comes to speakers and all speakers have different strengths and weaknesses. However, if you find a better speaker value than the 1801 for less money, please let me know. I may have to buy it.

Jack
