I'm posting this Daedalus cabinet and a Hafler P-1500 power amp (a super clean, quiet amp that drives the 2-8" and the 2-5" cones very very nicely) for sale or trade.
If they are items you can use, maybe we could work a trade for a kit. of course, there is nothing wrong with cash. :-)
Daedalus has been called by Martin Taylor (Or Simpson) - "God in a box" and while that might not be theologically sound (kind of a pun there I think) the Daedalus is the best cabinet for acoustic instruments that I've ever heard.
You can do a search for their s-82 model, which is the one I'm offering, and you will see what I mean.
If you need a power amp, I'm offering the Hafler P-1500 which is what Daedalus recommended at the time I bought the system, about 6 years ago.
Here's some stuff:

A review:
Daedalus All The Way!
Aloha,
Call Lou Hinkley at Daedalus in Bellingham, WA. Tell him what you want to achieve in terms of amplification. He'll set you up and answer all your questions about which models of speakers would work best for you. He's a great guy! You get to talk to the guy who will make your speaker for you!
Daedalus speakers are the best live speakers available, period! Best components, solid hand dovetailed hardwoods, best craftmanship and most natural acoustic live sound found anywhere. Really! It's all about the headroom. You simply can't get ear fatigue from a well thought-out and matched Daedalus mini-PA set up. And Lou handmakes every one of his speakers here in the USA.
I've never heard anything like them in 45 years of live gigging. Just take one for small gigs. But two takes your sound, coverage and control to a whole 'nother level. Even one Daedalus will beat the pants of ANY single speaker "acoustic" (what a crock of marketing shibai that is) amp. Two speakers will take your appreciation to an all new level of the difference between Lou's speakers and the other PA speakers not to mention ALL amps.
Daedalus speakers are built specifically for the natural sound of the acoustic guitar, not with mid-range honks built in to push voices long distances at high decibels that you find on other PA speakers.
