The relatively inexpensive Sonus Fabers can sound great in the right
room. You gotta like a company that makes a leather speaker.

Sorry.

With the Sonus Fabers, you are paying a premium for the design and
materials. It's true that there are speakers that cost less and offer
a higher level of performance, but they're ugly boxes in comparison.
Since you're someone who wants to build an amp chassis out of an oil
pan, it's not surprising that you don't see the value of this.
