Dear  Troels!
I am happy to share these pictures of my finished Revelator 851 build. The build was a complete joy and thank you so much for being so helpful during the process, you are a real jewel in the DIY community. The only thing I did not do myself during this build was the paint job which was made by a professional car painter. I made some magnetic covers as well, have kids. 
The speakers both look and sound amazing. I was actually a little taken aback on how good the bass is. Deep and super punchy. Everything I throw at the speakers they handle superbly. It feels like I am rediscovering my music library all over again. (If you want to you may share this on your website).
Best regards
Magnus

2025:

Dear Troels!

I have now lived with these beautiful sounding speakers for two years and decided to update them with the new 666000 tweeters after talking to you over email. Reading your description of what they would bring to the table I was expecting a subtle improvement only, but for me this was still a game changer. The new tweeters made the highs more crisp. I can now hear deeper into the music with finer details emerging and hence making the music overall sound more realistic. I absolutely love this upgrade and would highly recommend others to upgrade too. For me the new tweeters took these already great speakers to a new level. Sometimes subtle things can change the whole feel of a sound quite dramatically. 

Once again, thank you so much for sharing your great work. I would never (for now at least) be able to afford a pair of commercial speakers sounding this good. I have heard a few speakers costing around 30k that all fall behind by a margin. What you offer holds true value. Keep up the good work!
