Sold: GR Research X-Voce center channel speaker
« on: 21 Jun 2022, 06:27 pm »
Hi!

I have a beautiful rosewood speaker built by the AV123 team, so way better than I could build it myself. I really like the sound in my system but it's huge, and placed sub-optimally in my room. I really need to downsize to a much smaller speaker so I'm seeing if someone is interested in this.

$250 pick up from the SF Bay area.. SOLD on usaudiomart

You can all read about the quality of the speaker on the GR Research threads. I'll upload photos soon.

Thanks!

Vince is first in line, but shipping is definitely pricey. Trying for local sales first unless you're willing to pay for shipping... I have it boxed up and ready.

Thanks for the pics!

For reference, the color/veneer of this isn't rosewood exactly.  They used to call this diamond (Gloss) Moho Rosa.  It was basically their old moho veneer/color with a rose red stain.  It's definitely a beautiful speaker and worth the price.  It also can be upgraded with sonicap upgrades to make this one of the best centers ever. 

I say it isn't rosewood exactly because from all the research I've done, I believe it's base is in fact a Brazilian rosewood base but they use the sap lined parts of the veneer and various dyes to get certain colors.  I'm not 100% sure on this but everything I've researched leads me to this. 

It doesn't match the AV123 Rosewood you see on the LS-6's or ELT's exactly but it looks close enough for those with those speakers that are wanting a great center. 

Definitely pick this speaker up if you are local to the seller!

Thanks for that explanation Robert, you're spot on... It is the Mojo Rosa. Looks wonderful to the eye without the grills on. I doubt you could get empty cabinets this gorgeous anywhere for this price... The GR Research team have done a pretty fantastic job.

Shipping is turning out a little pricey $150+ because I can't fit the box in my car, so it would have to be a location pickup.
