Jay,

They look really nice with the sealer. Should really be something with the lacquer.

Mike

Agreed ! I knew once there was "something" on them , they'd pop, but when we were standing there watching the guy spraying the sealer, I was pretty shocked at just how much they changed. Can't wait to see them all finnished up, hoping I can get the client to post some pics when they are set up in his room

I wouldn't hesitate to use this Indian Apple Wood (Tineo) veneer again, beautiful stuff

Kenny (the H-frame customer) has put a lot of trust and faith in you and I Jay! He contacted me about the subs after I raved about them and your H-frames a few times on the Audiogon Forum. He had a lot of questions about the subs themselves, which I did my best to answer. But it was after talking to Danny that he was really sold on them

. I then put him in touch with you, as he wanted the frames to match the finish on his speakers. Looks like he's getting his wish, 'cause they're beautiful!

Hey Eric
Appreicated the recommendation and we're getting them as close as possible to his cabinets. After he send us the chosen veneer, cut a couple samples and had them lacquerd so we could send them down to him where he could compare to his existing cabinets
His wait is getting close to being over !

Here we go, 6 coats of satin lacquer and they really do pop

Just need to glue the magnets in the grill frames, pack them up , and ship them off

A couple new projects on the go....
A set of sloped triples with all woofers facing forward. He went with a small over hang on the tops to eliminate the need to deal with a seam. These are going out as flat packs

We also added sloped duals to our designs. Glued this pair up the other day for a customer,. Flush tops, bot woofers facing forward, , front recessed grills, .5" roundovers all the way around. finish will be piano black

Looking good Jay.

Thanks danny
Both these sets will be paired with NX-Ottica's hence both customers wanted the slped cabinets to match..

If anyone is looking for a "tandard" pair of duals, we'll turn post #206 above into a Christmas/New Years specail

Happy Holidays everyone

Update on teh India Applewood subs....
So back in late Oct when we went to box up the Indaia Applewood subs pictured above, we noticed some issues with the veneer, we just couldn't sen them as we weren't happy with the job that was done:(
Decided to call the client and explain the unfortunate situation Disappoiting but he understood and was actually appreciative we didn't ship them and have "make the call"
We buuilt out a 2nd pair of cabinets and this time we did the veneer in house, another lesson learned the hard way
The 2nd pair arrived at their new home just before Xmas (Mery Christmas Ken:xmas: ) and the new owner is getting them ready for bass duty. He sent me a few pics today with the drivers installed and sitting in place with the speakers we were trying to match

Those look fantastic Jay! Is the inset for the grill frame painted or veneered? I am deciding that right now, the plan at the moment is veneer.

Best,
Ed

Nice job Jay.

Captainhemo · « **Reply #213 on:** 1 Jan 2017, 02:03 am »

Thanks guys !.

Ed, the insets are all veneer too, was a bit tedious but I think well worth the effort. I'll try and get the owner to get a shot or two without the grill frames at some point.

The veneer on the subs matches that on the owner's speakers really well Jay. Great job! I have been recommending the OB/Dipole sub regularly and frequently in the Audiogon Forum, which is where this owner learned of them. He then contacted me, and I referred him to Danny (who closed the deal and made the sale), and then to you. Hope he likes the sub as much as I predicted he would! It appears he has both his speakers and the subs sitting on Symposium Acoustics isolation platforms. A serious audiophile!

First class job Jay, those look great, and yes, the insets are just a bit tedious

.

Will No-Rez be added?

Yeah, tedious and time consuming but, worth it in the end, was glad to see you doing yours too

Yup, he's got the no res, he'll add it last.

It would be great if Rythmik plate amplifiers came in L shape, bent right after the cooling fins.
This way one would be able to put the huge transformer and those caps in the cavity (bottom of the H frame would need to be some 4" tall), the cooling fins would be sticking out a bit, but all the controls would be in that case on the bottom back of the frame and everything in a single box.

Current height of the plate is 12-7/16", this would perfectly match both W and H frames with 12" drivers.
