[QUOTE="naboo, post: 1037468, member: 23125"] Hi Sean - thanks for your input. I guess having the mids and tweeter as OB will open up voices. I think I've read every reference to the sunflowers on the net now, and most of the people who have built them seem to really enjoy them. Paul Carmody also seems like an experienced designer and he uses or used these as his main set. There are some boxed floorstanders that would probably be a much safer bet, but I'm in this to have fun. The Sunflowers ordered from Parts Express and shipped works out cheaper than just the X-Statik's, so cost-wise Sunflowers also make a lot more sense. As far as the port is concerned, I'll order both an 8" and 5.5" inch to see what works better (or sock it). I have also had a great off-line discussion with [member=14465]kolakidd[/member] about his build - which just got me more excited. He uses a Vanguard with them and I would love to do that as well, perhaps at a slightly later stage. Down the rabbit hole I go... [/QUOTE]
