Hi Pat,
As you may remember, I was building some of these when we last talked. They've turned out extremely nice! The ScanSpeak tweeters and VIFA woofers are extremely well matched with George's spectacular crossovers (aka Crossover King). The parts quality is worlds better than most stuff until you get to Merlin range (which also uses ScanSpeak drivers).
Check them out on North Creek's website

The only bad news: you'll never find a pair to audition. I think one of the audio mags did a favorable review of the North Creek Spirits sometime recently. Try googling that?
Anyway, good luck with your friend's system. It sounds pretty damn nice!
Doug
