So, just like a newbe, I posted my first comment in the wrong place. LOL...(See welcome & guidelines)
Okay now lets get to the real thing.
I'm here to observe, learn, and hopefully create, something unique and satisfying!
I have a few questions for the seasoned Vets of this forum and ones recognized from other forums also. After creating your newest best work, what do you do with the speakers? I know friends and family benefit, but there must be a market, though small, that would support your efforts! I have a few projects going, mostly boxes and woofers without mated tweets or mids that sit patiently awaiting completion. My worry is my investment as I do not wish to run a deficit...AKA go broke having fun! Aside from buy-outs how does one afford the next dream project!
My LPG mids (I have 2pr.) have been sitting for well over 2 years and only now do I have a plan and $..
Yes it is still a hobby! I know, but some times I need a shot of motivation!!!!!
Shallow pockets!

Welcome!
Don't know if many will be able to help with your mids you have chosen, as they are NLA, and to my knowledge were not used a lot by the DIY masses. I do know that I heard a pair of those mids once, and they were xover'd to an old (also NLA) Peerless 831709 at about 1kHz in a sort of 'filler-driver' alignment by Paul Kittinger in his "TriLangle II" project. He didn't allow them much bandwidth in that design, so your app might be quite different.

Re: New comer
It depends on your woodworking skills. For me, I don't really have the time to market any of the stuff I build, and I also think there's a line where if someone is marketing someone else's design for profit, some eyebrows are getting raised and people might get upset; some even have a disclaimer included in their designs that state something along the lines of not using their designs for profit.
I LOVE going to DIY shows, mainly so I can hear new designs, and meet the guys behind the forums; the shows are tons of fun and I highly recommend going!!
As far as going broke goes, I've built the Statements for my dad (he purchased the drivers/xover parts), a pair of Tritrix MTM TLs for my garage that I actually ended up giving to a really good friend of mine because they were just going to get ruined in my garage, a pair of ER18 MTMs for my music system, and I'm currently working on the system for our church's sanctuary, as well as a system for my home theater. I guess the bottom line is, I go broke and mainly work for free
. Just glad the LOML puts up w/ it
