A few weeks ago as we planned our exit, I came across some Veracity HT3's that had been hiding for years. Here is the story...
As I noted in an earlier post, Frank Van Alstine was one of our earliest champions. He was doing a search for some speakers that showed the bass capabilities of his amps. I allowed him to audition my personal speakers, but rather than return them, he purchased them. Later he sold those to a friend and ordered a new pair for himself.
I had run into an interesting Pal Dao veneer so we decided to use it on his new pair. Fast forward... When we introduced the Exotica speakers, Frank asked if he could trade the HT3's for a custom pair of Exotica speakers. Of course, we said yes. So he returned this pair.
When we'd get any trade-in pair, we would always disassemble them and re-finish the cabinets. At the time he traded these in, we were quite busy and paying customers always came first. So we set these aside to re-finish the cabinets later...and forgot about them.
When we ran across them a couple of weeks ago, we had a decision to make. Do we trash them or do we re-finish them? It seemed like a travesty to toss them in the dumpster since this was the 3-way that put us on the map. So I decided to re-finish them.
Here are some pictures...
And a close-up...
If built today, these would run about $7000 as shown. We are offering these for 1/2 Price ($3500) with local pickup.
