The goal was to learn how build speakers and at the same time upgrade to match a 35w 1976 sony receiver.

Conclusion:
These speakers sound clear and as loud as my 1976 receiver will give it. No static or vibrations. A little soft on the bass at low volume, but great for TV listening. then put the turntable on with high volume and it evens out.
