milford3,
The Type 1 is a winner, and has been a good seller for me up here in Canuck land. They're easy to match up with a variety of amplifiers. I hope to have the new HB website up before autumn. I have a pair of Super 3XRS in the same finish as your Hoyts, except mine have pearl gloss black sides top and bottom. The combination of the black and Karelian birch burl is stunning.
