I am not sure, it wasn't Ebony wood, but super nice finish, and great grill cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I have to ask... is that a pre production prototype? It doesn't look finished. Looks like there maybe room atop the LSii for that driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard LSII's once and thought the bass was lacking (compared to the Khorns I had). At $10k, I would hope/want a full range speaker. They do look nice though...walnut is cool . Hope my dealer picks up a pair so I can listen to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 If you're that demanding and unwilling to tune your system... the speaker is more than likely not for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hasn't changed. And it never will be until Roy can change the laws of physics. But Mark has those subs dialed in perfectly, you didn't hear bass, you heard music. If you don't have corners, or have a smaller room, this is by far the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the mounting of the squawker in your LS ii looks better/smoother. But maybe the chief said make the cut out so big it can't interfere with the horn?

An educated guess tells me that this is a "working model" the final step between the prototype and an actual production model. That means other refinements, tweaks and things can occur before the first production run. It could also be that the motor board was hand cut because of new tweeter and wasn't CNC'd, but I have no way of knowing for sure. I would say the biggest factor is the photo skills of the person who took the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that The LSii has always been exactly like that... nothing's changed except for the quality of that plate hardware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
