    These are the new slightly smaller Cessaro's , TAD mid and tweeter, 102db sensitive, burr mahogany with piano black side panels, hopefully should be getting hold of a pair soon.
    Mods please move this if you feel necessary, thanks Keith.

    I like the veneer, otherwise I think they are ugly. I like the looks of the one in your avatar better.

    I realise they are not the prettiest, always tricky to incorporate a big horn, mine look quite elegant from the front, but from the side!

    Look nicely done Keith. Still no chance of them being at Heathrow?

    Hey Keith, I didn't say ugly was bad! You may know my favourite speakers are Tannoy Westminsters:D.

    Looks extremely doubtful MJ the small speakers have really taken off in the far East, which is great for Ralph , the pair above have the TAD drivers and the bass driver with an alnico magnet , the 'de-luxe' version, brass horn a well!
    The Tannoys ( with a giant horn stck on front ) would be uglier.

    Absolutely fugly, mein got himmel!
    There's really no excuse for combining such beautiful veneering/ piano black with this half finished and 'prototype' aesthetic midhorn, not to mention the bike lamp hf-jeez!
    We hang design students by their ankles out of 3rd floor windows for less:D

    :D Well I happen to like grey!
    However they still present a balanced appearance-a big ugly balanced appearance I admit:D
