These have been a long time coming, but they're here at last, so here's the pics.

I have based the angles according to the best position for phase. Whilst experimenting with angles and gaps, I noticed that getting rid of the bit in the middle helped with the de-coupling. The component placing for tweeters is a delicate job if you want to avoid everything swishing about. As I ended up with a gap in the front, it made sense (to me anyway) to put a slot in the back, purely to get some airflow. The Neo tweeters will stay cooler this way.

They look like they weigh more than my subs. Lovely build quality!

Spec wise, the cab handles 160 watts ( tweeters  20 watts each ) Hi Pass at 6K. Amp wise I use another of my 0K8's The Matrix equivalent is the XT800. The cab terminates at 16 ohms. The cab is totally independent from the system and is controlled separately.

why not a sharp trap angle so can be used 2 cabs etc per side?

Mike, I have based the idea on the fact that our Sound System colleagues like tweeters on top of a system. The system stack is 60 degree dispersion, so I wouldn't put another cab by it's side. another cab close by would interfere with the phasing situation I have tried to avoid by the careful placing of the components in the box. Another stack in the system would have another tweeter box on top, but only placed in the middle of the mid/hi cab.

They look nice, how tall are they and how much do they weigh? When will you be releasing these commercially, or is  this a hint to the fact that you have just released them? 
Poll this!

I haven't weighed them, but this will happen today, also the measurements. These are the only two that exist at the moment. They're easy to pick and raise above your head. 
Also, for low ceilings, there is a top hat in the bottom so the cab can be placed on a stand separate from the main system.

They can't be too weighty else they'd fook the grills they're sitting on in the picture!
