Thanks Bert.
I will build it exactly as the plans show with all of the sharp edges. (they seem to help but I don't fully understand why)

Because I have heard the singular with the superb AER Mk1 drivers my expectations are now very, very high.

I will try hard to get some void free Birch ply, if I can I expect it will cost over 100 euro per sheet and I will have to take what I am given, probably with some voids. I can get good Marine ply here but I don't know how it will sound.

How does marine ply sound compared to Birch and MDF?
Some people fill the voids of the singular with sand, is this a good idea?
if it helped I would expect it might be mentioned in the drawings.

I noticed there are not many singulars in the Gallery. I will send you some pictures when they are built. I hope the red mahogany staining works out, it is rather difficult to do on Birch.

Bert: Are your acrylic phase plugs suited to the FE207E or do I need a different length for that driver? The material seems important, have you considered trying them machined out of acetyl plastic rod?
