Recently finished a TLAH Pro pair for a church, and used some almost finished SLA Pros (and a raw T39) at my father-in-law's wedding when they decided at the last minute that they wanted to have music after all.
The TLAH Pro uses 6 of the Parts Express PA6 drivers with piezos. They sound amazing, and have fixed the clarity issue that was caused by having a single speaker high on the ceiling above the pastor, which had most people in the room complaining that they couldn't understand what was being said (especially if they weren't close enough to read his lips at the same time), and was an EXTREMELY old and worn out speaker. Because of a scheduling issue I ended up building them in only a day. It helped that the finish only consisted of a grille cloth wrap that was stapled on the back, which looked perfect once they were up. They are mounted using a 10$ thin, fixed flat-panel TV mount from PE that was trimmed to size with a hacksaw, which worked really well because I was able to slide them over into place after they were up there. The SLA Pros don't have grilles yet, but the rest is pretty much done. I would have had the T39 facing the back wall there but there was an entry ramp in the way. It did just fine anyways. The SLA Pro is my new favorite speaker because it does what I always wanted a PA speaker to do, which was to sound like a quality home speaker at any volume.

A DAY? Wow. Hats off to you sir.
I guess the finishing is the hard part. Man... it seems every time I think I'm done with the wood filler, I find another flaw...

Believe me, working at the speed I was, if I had to go around and perfect everything to make it even ready to get a finish, it would have taken twice as long. The worst part was the wiring, because I put in the drivers AFTER the baffle was attached to the rest of the cab (not sure why now), and no matter how meticulous I was, I ended up with wiring mistakes that required me to remove some drivers and reverse their polarity in both cabs.
