my garage is a duct workshop right now. Table saw and chopsaw are buried.: I’m in the middle of doing the same (if the ducting is for dust collection). Once that’s done I’ll probably also build a few stands before anything else. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/JHt5ky0d/C472488-B-8962-41-B0-B5-A2-00-BAC61-CBD42.jpg)

No Rich. Trevor is building Helmholtz resonators to prepare for his M5s.

Why did I chose wait 21 days! Lol. Cheap bastard I am. Better then 3 years. Seems the wait is coming to an end as most of the speakers will be here Friday. One good thing about holding that long is that you don’t have to send them back to trade them in. I’m pretty sure I’ve set a record on that front.

Lol. Yeah. Im guilty of never never projects/plans too.
Worst is when you buy stuff and find it years later......and go “huh!?” oh yeah!
Your dust collection duct looks good. Dont forget your grounding straps for static. (Gotta say it as a sparkie)
Pretty excited about the M5s. Just dreading the reality of not being able to get them dialed in for a bit. Havent used the basement much lately either. Just an F1 race so far in the last couple months and a demo for guests. Busy busy!

They are here. Just got them set up on top of shipping boxes. Need to get them at least 6”-10” lower before I really judge them.
Great packaging!

Found some folding chairs in the basement and now have them set up with tweeters at ear height. Much much better.
Might mess with building some stands for testing tomorrow. Listened to them for a couple of hours. Big difference from out of the bag..... Glad they softened up. Sound great now. Nice balance.
More thoughts later.

I’ll start a new thread in the water cooler for messing around with them.
They are showing a lot of potential -even though just set up fairly roughly aimed and sat on padded folding chairs. Handily best my old speakers in dynamics and bass output for sure.
Wife is not a fan so far. Ugly compared to the old speakers, which she now claims as hers. Lol.

The Xero looks pretty cute just like the Totem Dreamcatcher so I can't blame your Missus.
Give them a shot at 8" or so above the floor. I prefer them that way when I am sitting 10 to 14 feet away and they are 10 to 12 feet apart.
