'Don't know, but it looks like a K/E-145 for the LF.

Hey, those are one of my projects.

I have made a few changes since this picture. Most noticable is that I swapped out the smaller 1200hz smith horn for a full size 2397.

Thanks John, I knew they were from here, just couldn't remember where. I'm looking into building some Smith horns. I fell in love with your speakers when I saw the original thread back when. Your work is without a dought some of the best I've seen for DIY. The design and execution are impeccable. Thanks for giving me something to aspire too.

So what did you do with the Smith's?

Here are a couple pictures with the newer horns and the JBL blue grills.
They sound really nice. The set of drivers is a great combination. I especially like the E145. Recently these have been a bit displaced by my 4345s. Comparing the two, the 4345 goes lower, is more refined, and image better. At higher volumes, though, the 3-ways are a little more blue collar rock-n-roll.

Beautiful handwork. I guess you have no problem with the wife having them in your living room. (Not that I have any problem with the 4343's, as we both LOVE the sound)

The wood work is very impressive
