I bought in on the idea and then it left. Maybe another day would be better. I hope some day. :D

I'd love to see a pair in curly maple, the finish that's on my Ascendants...

I suspect it will be a lot sexier on the speaker and finished!  Black Limba or Tineo are my first choices currently, though I'm circling in on HT2-TL.

Quan....  what is the name of that black and white veneer.  I've not run across anything natural with such dramatic contrast!  Some of the ebonys come close but not with such pure white.

 Nuance, I could never find any natural veneer like that either. This is a composite black and white ebony veneer. Here is the link

This is awsome. Look just like my old Thiel 3.6 ambler.
