From Cherry to Moho.

Yesterday I received the last piece of my puzzle.  I got a matching moho veneered X-Voce to go with my X-Statiks!

Sounds great but still working on crossover/cabinet upgrades. 

Thanks again to Danny for making this happen.


Don't mind my girlfriend's foot. :wink:

Nice! I see you've been fully "de-grilled" too  :thumb:  How do you like the voce?

I already have one in cherry which I'm selling to my brother.  I spent 6 hours last night swapping out crossovers as I had upgraded the cherry voce with Ninja Elite. 

And I always take the grills off.  I like the way they look but never liked how resonant they were.  Especially that big one covering the open baffle of the voce.

Got ya. So you've been well skoold in the removal of the grills then  :thumb:  I really liked the way they look on the OB portion but I agree, it was a tad resonant.

How much of a difference did the XOVER upgrade make?

Big difference! :o

I've upgraded a dozen X-series speakers with Sonicaps/Mills/Platinums and in all of them they made an easily noticeable improvement in overall resolution and low level detail.  Better separation of vocals/instruments and a wider and deeper soundstage can also had by adding platinum bypasses.

 Highly recommended!

Those cheap caps and resistors that come stock really hold back those Encore tweeters.  Without the upgrades you can't hear how good they really are.

Still a step behind Danny's Neo tweeters but pretty damn good. :thumb:

Just got my pair of X-statiks in satin black.  I only have a couple hours so far on them but they already sound quite good.  I've listened to setups costing 10 times what I've spent and let's just say I'm not tempted to go out and duplicate them.  These are really good speakers straight out of the box.

I also got the components to upgrade the crossovers.  And while I was at it got the parts for a two driver open baffle servo sub.  My wife has been after me to clean up the basement (where my woodworking stuff is) anyway so win-win.  :D

Can't wait to get them broken in, upgraded, and paired with the sub.  An amazing deal, thanks a lot Danny!

Where can I found pictures of the different finishes?  Eyeballing the X-Voce in particular.

I guess I'll have to take some. There are some pics on the first page of a few of the finishes that might give you some good ideas.

Thanks for the quick reply, sir!  The negro diamond is what I was curious about since the satin is out.  I'm guessing this is like a black piano gloss?

Here's a crappy pic of mine.  In this case the X-Statiks are satin black and the X-Voce is negro diamond.  Nobody I've shown them to has noticed they were a different finish.  If you look really close you can see the difference but it's not apparent until you're looking for it. 



And a close up of the X-Voce.



And yeah, my room sucks.  It's a temp setup until I get the basement finished.  It's absolutely horrible, both visually and acoustically.  :lol:
