I think Jay has a pair in paint right now.

We had an issue getting the paint color the customer wanted. In the end, he sent us up an actual paint chip so we've now got it color matched. Spraying should happen very soon. We are now waiting for our painter as he recently had a medical procedure done. Cabs have been sitting in his shop primed and waiting for a while now...... soon !!

Whats the price range on painting those up?

Captainhemo · « **Reply #83 on:** 23 May 2019, 02:36 am »

Totall :(y depends on wha the customer wants.
Our lacqar guy is retty good but he is limited to basic colors with a choice of shjeen but, no metallics etc.

We also use a guy who sprays exclusively House of Kolor products but they add up fast and most are translucent so multiple layers are needed to get the desired deffect.
You probably saw these but here's a pic of the Super 7's we recenly built, they are done in House of Kolor tangerine Kandy... so multiple layers of primer/sealer and block sanding , a base coat, 5 coats of tangerine Kandy, then 2 coats of the HOK Show Clear. Material cost alone is up there but man, the paint is pretty killer..

Wish pics would show the depth.
Lacqar guy did the satin black bases.

Base coats done. A quick block sanding before final color coats and clear.

Hey stupid question.. I am full of stupid questions....

You know how the NX-Otica come in another model called the NX-treme where it adds more drivers up top... Does the Super LS come in a smaller model? Like say 2/3rds the drivers?

Is that a thing? doable? You'd get most of the bang for a lower cost and a physically smaller unit. That's my thinking at least.

Those are going to look (and sound) INCREDIBLE!

Beautiful work there Jay!

That is about as short as it can be and still function as a line source.

He still LOVES his shorter version.

Jay / Danny,

When you sell a set of these, do you include a set of padded shipping crates (or are those even a separate option)?

Given my space, I'm more than happy with my current speakers. However, it's easy to visit House of Kolor and dream / lust.

(Nevermind...this was answered earlier in this thread)

Haven't seen them in person yet, only some pics. These are going to be in a theater orom so they are top coated with flat lacqar to keep reflections down., Matching Super7 monitor and a dual h-frame for a center channel.

Note, the customer will be lying the dual h-frame on it's side to keep the tweeter down to ear level for those inthe theater. He also has a pair of triple h-frames to mate with the Line forces

Jay,
Very nice!

ntjetsmoke · « **Reply #92 on:** 11 Jun 2019, 11:04 am »

Looking good, Jay, I bet they sound better than they look!

PDR · « **Reply #93 on:** 11 Jun 2019, 04:28 pm »

OUTSTANDING!!!.......

RonP · « **Reply #94 on:** 11 Jun 2019, 07:12 pm »

Jay,

I just realized you don't have my address for shipping... I'll PM you

Kidding of course... Those look amazing.. can't wait to hear your report on them

Serious question: are you at all worried about them toppling over with accidental brushes/bumps? Or do they need a pretty strong smack to fall over?

SlushPuppy · « **Reply #95 on:** 11 Jun 2019, 07:54 pm »

Wow! Those look great!

Captainhemo · « **Reply #96 on:** 11 Jun 2019, 10:29 pm »

Thanks guys. Anxious to get them to the customer !
No, they won't topple over, the base is pretty wide, kind of deceiving.

A couple more pics
