I haven't sprayed it, but I absolutely agree. The satin is much easier to work with, does hold texture better. Even without texturing, I think it's a much nicer look

Indeed the dowel is great for on/off loading. This one is 20" wide intended for backline bass use with a matching DR200 (yet to be done). I don't play (just build), but I've had a lot of fun with it in the shop. When Adam does a gig with it, I'll encourage him to do a review

We're about done with our T39. We used some large wood dowels for bracing, and some extra strips around the door that made assembly easier. http://www.lonesaguaro.com/speakers/BFD/Titan39/FrontBack39SM.jpg There are a few pages of photos at my website: http://www.lonesaguaro.com/speakers/BFD/Titan39...

We're down to the painting stage in our Titan 39. We used a big wood dowel for some of the bracing, and some filler strips on the door that made the initial assembly easier.

Parts express has what look to my untrained eye like several "metalized polypropylene" caps with 10.0 uF values... but the prices vary wildly. Jantzens cost about $4 (p/n 027-932). Solens (p/n 027-568) are almost as cheap. Daytons are $6 (p/n 027-244). But then Kimber Kaps jump to over $2...

If you are on a limited budget, leaf thru the sales here. I've bought 4 Amana blades from these guys. Probably run 20 sheets of MDF/PLY thru my 60 tooth still cuts like butta.
