  1. jwc I heard your new bass bins are amazing... I'm hope I'll be able to hear really soon.
  2. Hey Guys thanks for the notice. I can’t really go crazy with details to respect the fact that this is a Klipsch forum. That said, many of the parts used have been adjusted /spec’d for our specific use (Horns, cabinets and crossovers) to get the maximum performance possible. The prices listed are pretty close to correct, they will likely be a dealer only item. The 3ways are ~150lbs each and are created from transport, ~450lbs with crates. Lifting them into the back of my truck was an exp Ill soon not forget. Ive done shows before, but 2 rooms was too much . For any product to be sold by dealers there is a 40% hit to gross by the dealers for their efforts. Retail prices generally on audio average anywhere from 3-5x manufacturing coast… all new ideas to me. The 2way and 3 way use very different crossovers and drivers as the design goals were different. Other interesting notes… veneer is crazy expensive. I used to stain and finish good ply wood. At this level that is not enough… so Rosewood and Ebony veneers were used. The finish is a grain filled polyester finish… very difficult to obtain in CA due to EPA rules. Ultimately its color sanded and polished much like a cars paint job. The finish work ended up representing 1/3 the total manufacturing costs as we wanted the highest possible finish we could achieve while still having the work done in the US. A cool fact about the 2 ways is that they are an all US/Canada sourced and built product. Getting the berlyum to behave nicely required some serious design chops on the crossover. I’ve met Richard Kontrimas of Radian multiple times I can tell you he is an amazing engineer/ specialist in material sciences. He had incredibly kind words for the 3way though it was not using his drivers. The process now is developing dealer relationships. We are participating in a headphone show this weekend which should be fun. Starting a company is not for the tame of heart… quickbooks, bookkeepers oh my.
  3. I'd like to think the deck dosnt dictate the sound but can only get in the way of the cart.
  4. I have a Zu dl-103r thus the sale. The old setup was a VPI prime and the 2m black, moved to a Classic 1 and Zu dl-103r.
  5. I went running into the fire with VLKAY... so far a good idea. Got to apple before buffet, 92.20... not quite the low but close enough... either all the card will be crumbling soon or Ill appear very wise in due time. Now for the fun, CYD, PBR. PBR has much up side if you can hold your stomach with the political issues. CYD is a solid company... good fundamentals... need the paper tigger to come roaring back.
  6. Table swap deserves a new cart. The Ortofon 2M back was bought new. Has about 20hrs total use. I used it for 16hrs at the Newport audio show last year... nearly all my listening this year has been digital. Ive replaced my table and plan to get a DL103 for a more classic sound. Great cart, guaranteed to be perfect... all original packaging. Asking $380 shipped
  7. Transcendent Sound Balanced Power Supply Built by me from the kit... works flawlessly... very heavy. ♦ True Balanced 120V Power ♦ Removes Power Line Noise ♦ Eliminates Ground Loops in House Wiring ♦ Reduces Radiated Fields from Power Cords ♦ Soft Start Protects Equipment From Turn-On Surges ♦ Less Than 2 Hours Assembly Time ♦ Reduces Interference Between Equipment Asking $400 plus shipping.
  8. I've built their st35 kit more than once... Awesome kit.
  9. The ground grid is a great pre... Super easy kit to build.
  10. Just upgraded my midrange drivers and selling off my DE750s. Perfect working order 1 year old, never abused and perfect/ like new condition. Justin 323-868-9722
  11. Moving up to Radian drivers... have 2 B&C DE750tn-8 2" compression driver able to run 500hz-20,000hz. $300 + shipping Price is very firm. Local pickup welcome Aliso Viejo CA 92656
  12. Any thoughts on the Radian 950 be vs B&C DE750 in 2way... Im ready to chose and could use some input.
  13. God Bless and may His peace be upon you!
