Just thought I'd throw these out in case anyone is interested.

Both are designs by Paul Carmody. Little guy is the Overnight Sensation TM and the slightly bigger one is the Swope TM.

Nice work! I heard the Swopes at Midwest Audio Fest a couple of years ago. Very nice speakers.

nice job, paul does nice designs. I built pauls classix ii and I'm in the process of building jeff bagby's rs180 mtm's. Those ot's and swopes are real high value designs. Your going to get many hours of enjoyment from them.:thmbsp:

I have but it doesn't really pass the WAF. Plus we've moved to a lot smaller place so I'm having to downsize somewhat. Maybe some day when I have a man cave again, but then there are Statements:drool:...though I kinda dig Paul's ZX Spectrums.:scratch2:

the spectrums look nice. But ribbon tweets are not my cup of tea. Pauls Cores I bet would sound good with the dayton reference drivers.

I'm listening to a pair of Overnight Sensations right now that I completed today. Pretty darned amazing for what they are. At the moment I'm just running my Ipod through a Lepai 2020. Not bad-maybe this weekend I'll hook 'em up to a proper amp.

I think I see some Amigas in my future.....

those OS's will sound even better once they get some burn in time.
