Yes, I did see those.  I had not seen exoticas before other than Jim's demo's.  Honestly at first I thought they were SS8's with different drivers as the cabinets are so similar.  Didn't realize that the stock cabinets were just a shade taller than the SS8's. 

Good looking set of speakers, but I don't want to say much beyond that.  Anticipation is half of the fun.

I really like that nice rich brown stain.  What color do you call it?

[jsalk]

There is not really a specific color name.  Doug sent us a picture of a guitar he really liked and we matched the color.

I can tell you it's deeper and richer, and slightly less orange even in person (though my room is dark).

There were a few requests for pictures.  This isn't the greatest, and I'm cleaning up a few things like the wiring... but here is a general idea.  Flash makes things look a bit shiny.

Do you have a satin finish?

They look awesome!

Yes, satin finish.  The flash makes it look a bit more shiny than it is.  It also brings more of the lighter colors out.

Since I'm a father of four first... I may be selling these beauties along with the matching SS7 center channel (built last year) due to some unexpected bills (a couple of emergency surgeries etc), and honestly I have a couple other investments I don't want to dip into and I do have other speakers.

Crushes me (though I would eventually have Jim build some more I suspect), but if it's at all of interest let me know.  I'm going to formally make a decision here in the next week or so, but let it be known that I may have a really nice front soundstage for sale at a nice price (and immediate availability)...

picture below should show how their color can shift based on lighting.  Jims first picture shows the veneer.

^ Sorry to hear - I've been there and feel for ya man.  I hope you're able to hold onto them though, as Jim performed an amazing transformation on them.  I miss mine every day, so I hope you get to keep them.
