Incredible burl wood for Liquids.....
« on: 22 Dec 2017, 09:51 pm »
Sent out this pair today...Mark M.  wanted the veneer and no-holds barred finish...he dealt with Dave direct to have him made this unusual pair,  and with who knows how many layers and days of production,  it was finally done...man,  until now I have never been afraid of handling a pair of cabinets...yes,  these are $$$,  but they are also very,  very nice.....

Yeah...pics suck as I couldn't shoot them outside in daylight / raining all day..anyway,  hope this comes out better here:

and yup,  Irina went apeshit for these,  so I had to order same veneer for a similar cabinet for home and as a show piece,  I guess,  since the cabinetry is some of the very best I have ever seen on any speaker ( exception some of the paint jobs on ultra $$$ speakers such as Wilson or Magico)

Nice! I would have made the front baffle mirrored image of one another.

Wow! Klaus you and the Odyssey team are putting out the best work yet.  Both those Liquids and Bunky's Kismets are just gorgeous.  Always like the polished faceplates best, too.

hey Sonny,

if you want a mirror image,  then order one and we'll make it for you,  heheheee

Actually,  I love, love, love the asymmetrical burls on these and on Bunky's speakers....just love it,  as it is a true piece of interesting furniture
