Marbles, can you start a new picture thread? I think jack and I need to go somewhere to vent...

Aw man, why do I always have to do the heavy lifting???

Why don't you guys start one in the Sports bar section....

"Hank's just jerkin' my chain! We designed the Micros together so he can build his own if he wants."

Yep, I call mine the HF Soundwerks BoseBusters.

Nothing more fun early in the morning than Jerkin' the Jawga boy's chain

I like NINE BANGERS, but that's not sophisticated enough to convey the notion of esoteric, high-end, golden-eared sound that replicates the tonal richness of a live ensemble represented by a convincingly wide and deep soundstage with palpable space between insturments and...
Sometimes I surprise myself. Maybe I should quite my day job and become a reviewer for TAS.

Okay, here's mine: MARS (the red planet)

I think when Brian ordered his medium red mahogony dye, he said: "Okay, I'll take one", and the supplier thought he meant one case instead of one bottle.

Hank,

Actually, I'm all out of the dye. We did these with one coat of dye and two coats of Minwax Antique Red stain. What I really wanted was about 5-6 coats of the dye as it gives you a black cherry look to the veneer and looks really awesome with a gloss finish.

BTW, I've got the sub just about ready to put the poly on it. Should look cool with the front firing aluminum cone 8" driver!

Hank · « **Reply #85 on:** 9 Jul 2003, 03:17 pm »

Aluminum cones, yes! I assume that by now, you all know that Brian has a fetish for aluminum cone drivers.

Post photos.
BTW, I received my shipment of BoseBuster/Micro drivers yesterday, as well as the parts for a pair of Danny's A/V-3's, as well as the parts for two towers and a center channel from another source. UPS should send me a Christmas present this year.

Hank,

We should have photos of the sub by early next week. We'll be offering it with a matching baseplate just like on the towers for a nominal upcharge!:)

a nominal upcharge!

Is that like when you talk to a car salesman and he says there is a nominal upcharge if you want a steering wheel to go along with the new car?

Hank,

I just got the baffle step compensation on the speakers a few days ago. Made a huge difference in the sound. Granted, they're in my dining room, but I can feel snare drum whacks pretty good from 6' or so away.

You mean the R.A.D. "Mars" speakers?

Brian Bunge · « **Reply #90 on:** 10 Jul 2003, 05:57 pm »

Umm...yeah, Hank. That's the ticket! The Mars 9's, with matching Mars Sub8, Mars Micros, etc.

Wait a minute...build your own, pardner!

Hank · « **Reply #91 on:** 11 Jul 2003, 12:54 pm »

See...you DO like the "Mars" name. Hey, if you don't use it, I might

How about the RAD...(drum roll)... Serenity

The little micro speakers remind me of the RugRats

So not to infringe any copyright, how about "RutRads"

RutRads??? I think you can get a perscription from your doctor to clear that right up

Brian Bunge · « **Reply #95 on:** 11 Jul 2003, 03:57 pm »

RutRads? Is that something that Scooby Doo would say? RutRad, Raggy!

Hank · « **Reply #96 on:** 11 Jul 2003, 10:52 pm »

Just close this thing early and admit that "Mars" is THE name. In lieu of two Micro's, send me a sexy Georgia girl for the prize.

Brian Bunge · « **Reply #97 on:** 15 Jul 2003, 01:11 am »

OK guys. Just a little over 24 hrs. left to get your entries in. Last call...

OK, time's up and we've got a winner!

The winning name is Pulsar 9 (probably Pulsar 9.1 due to the single tweeter) submitted by Steven Jeffcoat (jcoat007).

Congrats Steve and thanks to all those who entered.

I'll be posting pics of the new sub in a new thread in a day or two for anyone who may be interested.
