  Cute saying, LIKED it a LOT.
  
  But NO ONE, except me, has yet to hear an A7-800 with "MY" implementation,
  
  MY amps, my through-the-system-wiring, MY custom crossover, a different HF horn, and over 280 pounds of mass loading on each enclosure.

    Diffraction! All that bricks around the speakers only makes the room reflection worse. :)
    
    If a speaker needs help with that much weight for proper focus in the room, may be it's not the right speakers to begin with or rather a lousy room that requires an extensive room treatments.

      No, it does not mass load the cabinet, it mass loads the floor.
