SOLD FS: GR Research NX Studios with stands

**SOLD**

Selling my over the top NX Studios. I built them two years ago, cladding the fully lined with NoRez cabinets in mahogany crotch veneer with 7+ hand rubbed coats of Odies Penetrating Oil and Wood Butter. No expense spared on internal parts, binding posts are Cardas solid copper, all internal wiring is UniCrystal™ OCC Copper from VH audio and the crossover network uses Path resistors, V-Cap (ODAM w/ V-Cap CuTf bypass) on the tweeter (upgraded after the initial photo was taken), Copper foil caps w/ Duelund silver bypass on the woofer, & full set of foil inductors. The stands are built from solid walnut, with through dowel joint reinforcement. They are fit with threaded inserts for 1/4" footers on the bottom (the Gia's pictured are not included) and isolating brass spikes on the top. The rear of the stands have a micrometer adjustment system (literally parts from an optic supply house) to dial in tilt. The NX Studios rest on 1.5" thick solid walnut end-grain butcher block slabs damped with shore-40D sorbothane sheeting; resulting in a solid interface and delicate 1/4" floating reveal. These are both visually and acoustically stunning. As a avid wood worker I need to make space in my music room for a new development. I would prefer not to ship these, favoring a local sale in the New England area; those interested are welcome to my home to listen. Studios / Stands for less the cost of the crossover network: $1950

I am in S. Maine (04105) but am willing to travel across New England to deliver them, great excuse for a summer road trip.

I have NXoticas as well as The MTM Oticas (not sure what they are called) Omega High Output Alnico Monitors, and Custom Altec 288 Horn system, but you kept me up all night thinking about these BEAUTIFUL speakers. Live in NH so pick up was an option. Woke up this morning and see they are gone. Thanks for putting me out of my misery. I don't need more speakers. I'm sure these speakers sound as great as they look. Cementhead - Enjoy in good health. Argoncat keep building speakers. You are an artist

Of course you need more speakers!

We all must live in the NE area. I am sure these NZ Studios are in good hands. An open invitation to you and Argoncat. Let's get together and compare notes (-:

A thanks to Nicholas for delivery and a great deal. Truly beautiful speakers. Hopefully the casino didn't take all his money...
