Or one could source the Panels to commence the Build of something that functions along the lines of the Emia Design.

A Prudent search could get 4 x Treble Panels and 8 x Bass Panels for $1200 - $1500

The Base Electrics will add a few hundred, but the Power to be used will be difficult to put a cost to.

It is a design that shares similarities produced by Tim De Paravicini a very long time ago, it was being demo'd this design that set me on the road of 57 Owner ship as good as 30 Years ago.

Finished the new trim rebuild.  Cherry wood. About 7/16ths wider than OEM (3/4 inch).  Used a 1/2 inch roundover, per Bruce at LFT. 

I’ve put a lot of time listening to these speakers in the last month+.  I’ve listened to them with grills removed and having the stock trim pieces, with the all trim pieces removed, and with the new trim pieces.  They sound the same to me. I can’t discern any impact of the (slightly) wider trims, beyond looking a whole lot better...in my eyes at least. 

Working on the Super Vs now(painting). The grills for these LFTs will come when I finish the Super V grills. 

I decided to just get them done.  So here's the complete new frame and new front and rear grill.
