...message two days ago:

We’re doing final assembly on your BePure 2 speakers as I write this. I want these speakers!  You are going to be floored when you see them.  The finish is incredible.  So much so, that I went to order the same veneer to build a pair exactly the same for myself.  But there was no more.  Obviously everyone’s taste is a bit different.  But you will be getting what I consider to be one of the finest looking speakers we have ever produced.

today he sent me this:







Holy Cow  😳

Happy listening ratso!

Batman's speakers!   Extraordinary!

I see some extra time spent on lighting when these speakers finally get set up.

Might scare the crap out of someone late at night ..

Batman's speakers!   Extraordinary!

That's the exact same thing that popped into my head.

OMG!  Those are the coolest speakers I've ever seen! 
You are a lucky duck! Jim is an artist for sure.

[targa02]

I LOVE this look!  Damn, Jim is such an artist!

[rowdyrobot]

Those look awesome, and the kind of design I’d expect for an audiophile with a handle like “ratso”. Enjoy!!

Bad ass is not usually the first thing that comes out of my mouth when I see a pair of speakers.  Those are Bad ass.
What’s the veneer?

It is White Ebony, also called Royal Ebony.  But that was a very unusual batch.  Wish there were more trees like it.

whoaaa, I see so many micro images in the wood. You can get lost looking into the grain. Amazing what nature can do.

[Ern Dog]

Wowza!  These look Amazing!

DAMN!

Lucky man ratso, congrats ! Absolutely stunning. Stellar work as always Jim & team, unquestionably some of the most unique yet.  High art by Mother Nature, with a little help from the Salk shop.

Those are Rohrschach-ing and will sound better than they look.  If you are into piano, try JS Bach Inventions and Sinfonias BWV 772A-801 with Andras Schiff on Denon COCO-73071, the Japanese pressing.  Incredible.

Enjoy the BePure2s!  They truly are phenomenal instruments.

Those are absolutely gorgeous!  You are going to love them.  I just found out my dream speaker is going up by $2700.   I was going to sell my BePure 2s and buy the dream speaker before the price increase but I just couldn't let them go.
