here's three classics 2006 salk 1961 Wurlitzer 1953 Kay Upright Bass

What finish are these HT3's?
Very nice.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill -

I am 99% sure those are waterfall bubinga with the hand rubbed high gloss finish. I've seen a lot of bubinga (since I ordered one of my systems in the same wood) and judging by Jim's photos and the forum here, is probably the most popular non-standard veneer he makes.

HT2-Center and HT-1s with Honey Oak finish and black satin baffles.

This is a terrible quality picture, but I thought I'd post it anyway. My speakers are cat approved: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/photo.php?pid=55708999&id=6825153

I promised myself to catch-up with pending “to do” prior to year end. This post was on the list…These HT3’s are finished in Ambrosia Maple and were Jim’s personal pair for a while. I have my eyes on them when the original sale did not go through earlier this year. Called Jim and told him to hold them for me – drove up to Livonia, MI for the AKFEST this past May, attended the show, had a great time and brought these speakers back home with me (no FedEx truck here)!
As for how they sound…all I can say is that they are one of the best sounding speakers that I have heard at any price for a long time. This includes reproducing both digital and vinyl sourced material! I asked Jim to build me a second pair of bottom plinth as I wanted the speakers to seat a little higher.
More pictures in my gallery.

Apparently I never did post here. I think I was going to take better pics and never did.

Hey Pete how about a comparison between these and the HT 3's ?

Love my Song Series!

I was lucky enough to see and hear this system in person and it is nice. As said before, pictures just don't capture the workmanship and finish of these.

My new ST/RT's from the listening position. Bad picture..........

I finally got around to taking some pictures of my system since moving everything to there new room. The room started as a two-room add-on to the house we bought a couple of years ago. I removed a couple walls and turned it into a dedicated music/entertainment room. The room is roughly 15' 9" x 22' x 8' but narrrows for a bit in the middle due to the fireplace on the other side of the wall and a built-in cabinet.

It is still a work-in-process as I have more room treatments to due and still working on furniture, art, etc. It will get there someday!

Stylus, that is a wicked nice, comfortable looking room. When can I move in! SWEET.

Kinger · « **Reply #135 on:** 5 Mar 2010, 03:21 am »

That is one really nice looking room.

Thanks for the recent pictures! I am way live and echo-y and will need treatment, more rugs, etc.

I look at these treated environments and I am envious!

When you post the pics, it would be nice if you would also mention the veneer....

@Stylus

Very sweet room! The TT/Amp shelf unit is very nice. Did you design/build that?

cheers,

Thanks for all of the comments.

The ST's are in the standard Cherry veneer. The stand that the equipment is on is actually a coffee table

I bought it quite a few years ago during a blow out sale with the purpose of it being a AV stand, it has done well. The biggest weakness is it doesn't hold much gear.
