If it's not cool to post a FS item here, please let me know!  I posted here because these speakers were designed by Danny....

We have a very special pair of x-ls encore loudspeakers here and they are up for grabs.

This pair is superior to the pair that won the StereoMojo Great Small Speaker Shootout of 2007:http://www.stereomojo.com/Small%20Speaker%20Shootout%202007/SmallSpeakerShootout2007Part1.htm.

The competition featured speakers costing as much as $1000.00. The verdict of that blind comparison?

XLS NINJA favored 5 to 0



Photo of one of your new speakers. Not actual size.

Feature list:

* White Shadow Maple cabinets - 9/10 on the Audiogon Scale: http://www.audiogon.com/scale.html.

* No grills and no grill mounting holes. The fascia of these speakers is ultra-clean.

* Rare! Approximately 448 pairs of maple speakers were produced. Of those 448, some are 'Sycamore' and not 'White Shadow Maple' as these are. The exact ratio is unknown to us. Of those speakers that are true White Shadow Maple, a VERY small number were produced without grills. This means there are no ugly grill peg receptacles visible. Note that if you need grills, this can be done - just ask.

* We've upgraded the cabinet with one of our NoRez Dampening Material Kits [more info: http://www.skiingninja.com/Articles.asp?ID=157].

* The stock cheapy binding post cup was removed to make way for Vampire #BP-1.5 Binding Posts. They are gold plated binding posts made from one piece of hard brass, including the top nut. They are then copper plated, silver plated, and finally gold plated.

* To accommodate the new binding posts, we installed .110" brushed aluminum plates. They are gasketed for an air tight seal.

* Ninja Master networks are installed [more info: http://www.skiingninja.com/x-ls-Classic-to-Encore-Upgrade-p/xlsctoe.htm]. These networks feature the following:

Fully custom build
Pure point to point connections. No PCB and no wiring between components
All capacitors are manufactured by Sonicap and are matched for superior focus
Copper foil inductors
Mills resistors
Full Ninja SSC Wiring (new; not even announced to the world yet!)
Cardas quad eutectic solder used for all connection
Custom manufactured 60 durometer rubber stand-offs are installed to keep the crossover from vibrating against the cabinet

* Every upgrade in this speaker was installed by The Ninja.

Queue cheesy infomercial tag line!

All this for the low, low price of $799 delivered!
