My latest additional is a pair of Troels Gravesen's Illuminator Monitor's (http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Illuminator-Monitor.htm) in Australian Blackwood with a semi-gloss finish. My first DIY build, was a great experience and the sound quality is excellent! IMO they are superior to any bookshelf speaker I have heard under AUD$20k and matched with a quality 10" subwoofer they would require some stiff competition from a 3-way floor-standing speaker.

Below are some more pictures from during the build with Harman Kardon electronics and a Balvenie single malt.

Nice speakers. You should consider lining them with No-Rez for a nice little upgrade. I love bookshelves...
