The FH3 project turned out great. I have not gone around to refinishing the speakers yet, so they remain in their baltic birch plywood state.
The kit went together extremely easily, so that was nice experience for a complete novice with no woodworking sills.
They sound great and produce a nice clear image. The midrange and upper register are wonderful, especially reproducing vocals.
I chose the Markaudio Alpair 7.3En drivers and they are pretty revealing. I listened to a bad recording, and you could really tell that it was a bad recording. I don't listen to really heavy rock with lots of bass, so these were a logical choice for me.
I had to play with room placement a bit and adjusting the amount of stuffing in the baffle to get it to where they sound best in the odd-shaped room where I listen.
I say give it a shot!
