As another of the contributors / perpetrators i have to chip in too.It's my Raal's, S2's and stands that can be seen.

Great project and fun to do and as Adan says it opened some eyes. Others seemed to have little or no time for it, as it is incomprehensible to them or perhaps as simple as it won't fit in their rooms or get past the missus?!
Full marks to Adam for thinking of the project and catalysing us to do it.
I have to agree that in a well set up system, 2nd order or even first order on upper mid and tweeter is preferable to me now.
In the one day only world - what we used worked but we all agreed could be improved upon with more time.
The system gave flashes of brilliance and showed what potential was there - had we time to unlock it.there are so many variation of setup and positioning it is mind boggling - no time to try the physical ones. The modded DSP X/O in Coco's capable hands gave us a functioning system of scale, presence, dynamics and volume (when required) that not other 'speaker' could achieve.
just like my 12 sided conical project gave me a taste and increased my experience, moving on to a tractrix upper / mid and hyperbolic mid bass horn has unlocked more from my drivers.
So, fun for day - you bet!
