Reptar,
I'd like to second Artman's recommendation on the Caintuck Audio Lii F-15 speakers. I listened extensively to the Lii Audio F-15 and Crystal 10 drivers in Steve's wonderful baffles at Decfest. Early Saturday morning I listened to Randy's Lii F-15 speakers as well.
I really became enamored with the sound of the F-15 drivers in open baffles. The only thing with Randy's smaller baffles was limited height of the soundstage as compared with the larger, taller Zen Master baffles.
I had Randy build me a pair of the Lii F-15's with Sapele hardwood sides and a center Maple board. The speakers look terrific and most importantly sound AMAZING.
I have about 80 hours on the drivers so far, so they aren't fully broken in yet. In my listening room, the speakers present a super wide & deep soundstage with very realistic soundstage height. I tried placing the speakers on 10" high sand filled MDF boxes. Soundstage height increased, but the sound lost it's magic. These speakers need to be coupled to the floor to sound there best, right Randy😊.
The Lii 15 speakers are one of the most satisfying stereo equipment purchases I've ever made. They also represent an incredible value proposition for those wanting to hear the music. Coupled with a Decware amplifier (mine is a ZMA) and good source equipment you have something really special.
Anyway, just my 2 cents.
