I am using a 14 watt, Eico HF-81 and they do sound great. I'm still evaluating them as Ive had them less than a week. I was surprised how good the highs are. Bass is good and tight, not super deep, great mids. Haven't listened enough to give a good review yet though. There are quality home built as well with a nice finish. I might take some pics of the baffling later. Thanks for the comments.

From what I recall, the baffling was an elaborate back-loaded horn; which gave very good quality but not very low base. As you noted, they were very efficient. Other than the ones I saw, and you post, I have not seen any mention of this design. It is quite interesting and has surprisingly good performance. I wish I had had the room for them! I hope someone is enjoying the ones I saw!

Actually, they are not elaborate at all. There are just two vertical partitions on either side of the driver which extend down to about 6" from the bottom panel.
And then, the two outside side panels extend up from the bottom to about 6" from the top.

I saw the plans above. Since I could not disasemble them, I assumed they were more elaborate. If I recall correctly, on the pair I stested, the backloaded area was stuffed, making it more a transmission line.

The guys who listened to them at Popular Science thought they sounded a little tubby or boxy when the cabinets were left bare wood inside. They put some pieces of fiberglass in them and said they sounded better.
They didn't stuff them, though.
When I built mine, I just kind of laid some fiberglass in there loosely.
