Gary,
A veritable Alice Through the Looking Glass - or Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit - depending on your favorite frame of reference. (One pill makes you(r speakers)larger, and one pill makes them small . . .)
They are physically large to folks used to bookshelf speakers as the norm. If one stares at VOT's long enough, anything else looks small. I think the custom work you did on the front panel & grille probably saved your bacon on the home front. Very, very nicely done.
Of course, not all 15" drivers are created equal. Getting 'em in the right box and blending them with a horn tweeter is a can of worms . . . but in the end they sound really terrific and get the music across very well indeed. (I'm not telling you anything you don't know - just an independent view from some guy who happens to have heard 'em. ;-)
Keep your ears and your mind open.
