Super Vs for sale - SOLD
« on: 1 Jul 2013, 03:47 am »
Custom pair of GR Research Super Vs for sale in Seattle (can ship them to continental US too).

I just moved, and don't have room for these anymore. They need more breathing room. I've switched to near-field monitors for mixing work, and it's time for these Super Vs to find a better home where they can really shine.

These things are HEAVY and very well braced/damped. I modified a few parts of the cabinet plans for aesthetic reasons and extra bracing. I used a constrained layer baffle for the main baffles and subwoofer baffles. I doubled the baffle thicknesses - the upper baffle and woofer baffles are all two layers of 0.75" MDF sandwiched with silicone caulk for a total of 1.5" thick. Much deader sounding than the factory spec 0.75" when you knock on it, i.e. more rigid for more accurate sound reproduction (so my thinking went). Otherwise, the cabinets match the stock specs / measurements. There's a bunch of No-Rez lining all the sub cabinets as well.

Finish is truck bed liner - it's a very tough, matte, textured paint that holds up very well. These are NOT piano gloss finish, so if you need incredibly high WAF, these may not be for you.

Very heavy speakers - definitely something to keep in mind for interested folks! I can ship them on a pallet if you're not local.

Also has the Jupiter cap upgrade from Danny.

I also have a pretty solid UK-made T-amp called the Bantam Gold if you don't have a better amp already (just ask and I'll throw it in).

Asking $4,000 (+ shipping if you're not local).

Cheers,
Devin

I Always had an intrest in these speakers, in their design. But i live in Belgium, and also would never make the cabinet for it. Being that heavy i guess the shipping cost would be to much. Still, if it is not to much of work to figure out the shipping cost to Belgium, i would like to know it.

I might have an interest in these and I'm in Seattle.  Will PM you if I decide.

Bump!

Sorry, RCduck7 and lowtech, not sure how I missed the ball on your replies. My apologies.

These Super V's are still for sale.

I just moved to Bend, Oregon, but I'm most likely heading back up to Seattle in November and could ship them out then (or lowtech, if you're still interested and in Seattle, that would be even easier).

Bump - price drop to $3250 - really need to sell these. Would prefer to do local pickup in Seattle, WA but will consider pallet-shipping them. I'm currently in Bend, OR but can fly back up to Seattle, where these are being stored (at my folks' place), to sell them.

Did you build grills for these?

Nope, no grills yet - would be a pretty easy mod/build compared to the complexity of the rest of the speaker, though.

Devin, this link is to a wanted to buy post here on AC.  I don't know if the member has found a pair of V's yet, but maybe a buyer for you?

These are excellent speakers!  I looked at buying these but found a local friend who parted with his for some silly reason which I am sure he regrets now!

Ha! I'm hoping I don't go through the same thing, regretting I hadn't gotten rid of them a year or two down the road...  :D
