Twl,
I've been following the evolution of your system closely. What had initially intrigued me about what you were doing was the elimination of crossovers. Since Lowther introduced a refined design of their drivers and eliminated, to a large degree, the infamous "Lowther shout" and is further improved with the use of the Voight enclosure design it's even more interesting. That these speakers can be driven by just a whisper of amplification makes battery power practical for anyone.
Being a solid state guy that really loves the glorious mids of a tube system and turned off by the lack of bass response these same systems provide, you have really got my interest in this simple design path. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to add up the total cost of your system and it's a modest investment by audiophile standards. My guess is that your system rivals those costing 5X more or better. Are we getting a glimpse into the future? I think so.
My hope is that David Berning licenses this technology to other manufacturers since it's such a long wait to take delivery of his products.
Thanks Tom. You've taken a leap of faith that few others have the balls to do.
