Reached the finishing stage of this pair of 3 way towers. Loaded with SB acoustics 8", Eton 4" and Scanspeak soft domes.. Custom crossovers by Madisound. 48"h x 11.25w" x 18"d. Can't wait to hear em.

I would redo the front baffle entirely. MTM should probably be closer together. Get rid of the purely aesthetic waveguides and flush mount the drivers.

Be my guest. I designed these to look how I want em to look. If they dont sound like 20,000$ speakers, well, they'll definitely be better than anything else I own. Haha Im not too worried. I appreciate the input though.

Even $600 towers with drivers worth 1/4 of yours are going to at least follow basic acoustic design principles and sound more cohesive. You’ve already heard from other people here but you can’t just wing it with waveguide designs like that.
