I have purchased the full set of plans from Bill
I would not share them purely on the grounds that it's his request not to do so and his business loss if I did so. 

The reality is that the plans cost very little to an individual, and are way more than simple drawings, and have masses of construction photos.

When you are posting on Bills forum, the man himself will answer generally within a few hours of the post being made....they are genuinely worth every penny in my view.

The plans are constantly being updated and anybody who has purchased a set of plans can obtain the latest version free of charge as long as they can confirm the original purchase date and email...

btw i wasn't suggesting its ok to distribute the plans, 100% agree with David L Perry.

I wonder how much that level of advice/aftercare would cost from a utility company or a major brand ... technics enigneers want £75 a hour labour ... not that their expertise isn't hard earned mind, just not essentially free is it ...especially considering how well bill must know his product.

Any more pics of these omni's? How heavy do they end up?  If i built them with the bottom section out of 18mm ply would it be safe to put a tophat in and pole mount them or are they too big / heavy?

You wont need to build them with 18mm ply the 12mm is strong enough but if you feel a need to reinforce just put a double thickness of ply where the top hat should go.

Ridiculous. The copyright isn't just in regards to the layout and look of a cabinet. Bills plans are 20-30 pages of instructions with pictures and diagrams. This isn't a 2 page CAD drawing with some measurements on it. Even if it was it's Bills right to sell them and profit from the sales of the plans. Some people give away plans that only work well with certain drivers that can't be gotten anywhere but through the cabinet designer to make money. Some choose to just charge a nominal fee for the plans.

$15 USD for a set of speaker plans, when you are probably going to spend upwards of $300 USD for the speakers is nothing. There is certainly enough information over there on Bills site that you can surmise whether the design is a good one for you before you buy them.

not being difficult Rick, but doesn't this forum do that and more? its just up to the consumer not the designer to make a judgment on what to trust and compile?

- but you're dead right that his plans/guide does give you a lot more reassurance than plain schematics if your experience isn't equal to Bills.

Jazzy Rick has raised an interesting point in my mind, because what bill sells are merely plans, if an occasion came about where someone built one of these plans and then someone thought it looked like a preexisting product... who would be liable? The designer for the design or the builder for building the design?
