  1. I have designed the 2 driver wood boxes and when I stack them and put them next to my horn stack in CAD they are just not as pretty as the steel tubes and actually detract from the aesthetics in my opinion.  The main problem is the width of the front baffle and the long straight sides that seem to not compliment the horns.  They are different to your woofer towers Romy in that the drivers have no vertical separation between them and I am limited to a 1m (40") depth so the baffle needs to be wider than yours.  My wood version looks more bloated and oversized by comparison.



To further this discussion I thought I would add some images of the two woofer tower possibilities taken from exactly the same vantage points.
