Those don't look like Peter Gunn's work to me. And he generally steered clear of the ribbon-tweeter models anyways.
But, a nice looking set of speakers with LX521 dipole woofers mated. I imagine that setup sounds pretty good, if integrated properly.

Yes I was aware of Peter Gunn's work when I had mine rebuilt. Some of his work looked very nice - although I was never convinced of the "better sound" argument for hardwood frames. Although I seem to remember he modified x-overs, too??
Originally I actually purchased the LX521 plans just to build the woofers for my Maggies. When it came to purchase the LX521 bass drivers here in the UK there was quite a savings if I bought the entire LX521 set. So I built the woofers first for the Maggies and then the LX521 upper baffle at a later date. The same carpenter that built the Maggie frames CNC'd the LX521 upper baffle for me from five bonded pieces of oak to minimize any chance of warping. The LX521 is my primary speaker, but I still like the Maggies - my first pair was bought more 40 years ago.
