Start your own thread for these speakers as I'm sure most would love to watch the build evolve.
That isn't a bad idea, really.

Pretty cool! I was interested in them, but am doing something more "traditional" on my current build.
I am retired, fixed budget and finishing up on our 3500 sq. ft. house build, my build, I have done everything except the ceiling drywall and AC. This little speaker build is to keep my mind happy and they have a place perfect for them.
We did not finish, but you get the idea. The gear is a pair of Genesis 1's, driven by a Sonance 260x3 and fed by an Outlaw Audio 950 pre-amp, CD is supplied by a Sony Blue Ray player but fed into the pre-amp by a cheap tube pre-amp that has blue tooth, it is what I stream to as well as play FLAC and WAV files from a dedicated PC. Next week I have another Sonance amp coming, a 275x3 so I can bi-amp the upcoming build speakers. There is also my old JVC Super A receiver that goes to the Sansui SF-2's. Behind the TV is my old JL Audio 12" in a small box, it used to reside in my E38 but does excellent as low bass fill for the Genesis.
The upstairs family room is 20x40, but the ends by the eaves are only 4', I needed the windows for light so I did not block that section off. The unfinished door to the right goes to a 6x35' side attic, there is a matching one on the other end. The actual space used is 20x20.
Obviously there are no sound treatments other than the massive sofa. A few area rugs will be added once construction is done. The left side will have floor to ceiling book shelves covering the entire 40' length.

The whole listening room was designed to be spun 90 degrees, but the funky ceiling caused some resonance issues.
New house, some new gear!
These Legends joined the family of british built speakers, welcome you lovely Tannoy Berkeley's MK 2, going to be doing some listening tests over the sunny weekend.

Listening to this through the 910's tonight. Very nice.
Unfortunately, not. This pair doesn't have meters installed.Ooh, all glowy! Were the meters on the 910's glowing too?
Those Beograms are really beautiful, but the issues with the cartridges and styli so far are a dealbreaker for me... perhaps one day...Ooh. more MCM goodness! I just saved a Beogram TX2 turntable that would look great in that cubby.
