well thats about all i got. overall i'm impressed with the project although a little disappointed with the finishing....oh well it was my first time veneering so i can't complain. next time i'll break out teh airbrush for a nice black paint treatment. felt good to spend my first paycheck on reliable stuff for a change instead of going out and spending 40 on something that will break or have a blade shoot out and slit open ur leg (thats for another day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif )

any comments or suggestions?

ok i listened to them and overall i'm satisfied for the money. i should have stuffed them though because the midbass tends to be washed out and can break up at around 3k. they have WAAY too much treble but the mids are super clear and for bookshelves the sound envelops you.
