I share the same 'Must meet Wife's approval' requirements...
Looking at the front baffle, and this 'rotary' looking brace on the back of the tweeter.
Could you shed any light? Looks like the screws that mount the wood also attach to the speaker? Or do you mount the driver to the front baffle and then add the brace?
Also I was under the impression that you wanted a very stiff front baffle. I've seen 3D printed speaker kits, but have to wonder about where it would make sense to have a denser part of the case? I saw that the woofer mounted directly to the baffle itself. wouldn't that cause unwanted vibrations?
Still, cool kit... btw while you said "I'm far from a woodworking or a speaker-building expert." Uhm... I noticed a festool sander along w a paint tent... something a 'far from expert' wouldn't have. ;-) Methinks you downplay your skills too much.
Oh and one other question... quality.
You've said you've built some of the PE kits... how does this compare?
I mean it looks fairly complete and well thought out.
