A push-pull woofer assembly below the Eikona would make this really interesting. Need some space though...
But take away from the monolith look...
Could you also make version for other popular drivers? For example Mark Audio Alpair 7. I have a pair of ver 1 Alpair 7 waiting for inspiration.
I don’t think we will make an A7.3 specific version of this, but there is a series underways for the Alpairs that is a similar monolith presentation… A7.3 and A12pw in the works, we have only done the A103/A10p so far.

I'm sure many of us would like to hear your impressions of the Eikona2's being that you guys have had the chance to hear so many fulle rangers.
So would we. They cost in a range that exceeds our usual Frugal-phile™ budget, but a better than expected insurance payment will cover them.

Those are screaming to be clad in stone!
freddi - thanks for the suggestion, but I’ve done enough spray-bomb work on surface areas as large as these that I’d prefer to go the p-lam route as long as the shapes will permit, and I continue to have access to the required materials and space.
Anyways, Dave might prefer the close to dead flat texture and very low sheen that the Fenix product offers.

Maybe one of the pretty darn good simulations available in plastic laminates these days?
Yeah, the black marble laminate I did my counter tops with look plenty real once I buffed them out.

Much cheaper, a helluva lot easier to work with than stone, and someone’s gotta move these buggers during and after fabrication
I would guesstimate about 35kg, without the driver. How much do you think they will weigh using 18mm plywood?
For cutting the slabs, we use a (big) saw, for cutting holes or curves, it's cnc water jet.
I’m on vacay for the next week or so, and have long since stopped trying to commit such details to memory, but based on my recollection of the cut-sheet breakout - approx 1 1/2 4x8ft sheets per pair? and a density of well less than MDF’s 45lb / cubic foot, I’d wild-@ss guess around 25-30kg per box, less drivers? Regardless of the math, and whatever putative sonic advantages stone might have, my recovering rotator cuff and L1-5 degenerated discs - and more importantly, wife - prescribe against fabricating with stone.

No worries, Chris.
It was just an observation, and since the "original" obelisk from the movie was a stone, it just jumped to my mind.
Enjoy vacation! (then, what are you doing here?).
