I agree, there is probably very little to learn luthiers that is directly applicable. However, I've always been interested in the similarities between good speaker cones and thin lacquerd spruce. Sort of a crispy pingy sound even with just a gentle tap. Anyhow, its not a BaD way to make an enclosure.. stiff as you like - with very little stored energy. Also, the resonaces of a violin front are many and chaotic, having the affect of spreading out the resonances. I thing it will be fun to play with the back-chamber back - adding little very light stiffening bars accross - in the manner of a bass bar on a violin. I plan to get lucky!
When I said PR107 i meant PD107 of course

I'm interested in the amp damping discovery. I will be able to experiment with this too. Would electrically over damping affect the optimum size of the back chamber do you think? I still am not sure what size to start with anyhow...
I've been looking for some Tannoy Reds for a while, not much at the right price and condition..
