   No, just a custom cabinet I designed and made for the SK3. Larger than   
   the Concerto's. Didn't think the Baileys were really worth the effort,   
   but I know a lot of people did.   
   Later replaced the tweeters with Dynaudio's and made new Xovers. Have   
   had lots of other speakers, but they still sound OK compared to many.
