The one at the last Alabang hi-fi show is my Fostex 127e iBIB (inverted big is beautiful speaker cabinet, designed by a group of members of diyaudio.com), it is basically a folded tapered quarter wave speaker cabinet.

This 167e is similar to a mass loaded transmission line cabinet, with an opening similar to a back loaded horn.

Pwede naman, pero mas maganda siguro MDF then painted with automotive polyurethane paint, simpler and faster. Medyo matagal and mahirap yung gluing narra strips on the cabinet, each strip needs to be planed and trimmed kasi malaki variation sa size. hehehehe...

First few minutes, typical of a brand new Fostex, shouty and incoherent. I will breakin tonight and check out the sound tomorrow. But, even right now, the vocals are to die for! 

I will coat the speaker cabinet with flat polyurethane varnish on the following weekends, and I might tell the owner that my dog chewed the driver and offer him money for the drivers, and keep the speakers. 

How do they sound now? Still breaking in?
