The finish is seamless and flawless. How you do that with rosewood veneer is beyond me. Glaze and buffing for two hours add a depth and tactile quality I haven't seen from veneers sprayed with multiple coats of clear lacquer.It now remains to be seen if we can post photography that does the speaker's beauty justice.

I plan on sending a new veneer from Colombia (Mascarey) to China for our artisans to work with... you will cra* your pants when you see the beauty of this veneer. I'm excited about my facilities in China and Colombia working together on loads of stuff... Now then Brian --- aren't you glad you listened to your old buddy... All the best...mls

All the best...mlsMark,As always incredible work.As some have said, if they didn't make a sound they'd still be (state of the) ART.Hope you're feeling better. Maybe I should put you on a vitamin regime?
Brian and Mark, a beautiful piece of work. I'm dreaming of a signature model in piano black with a diffuser imbedded in the finish...call it the V60 STEALTH. With sub missiles flanking the wings...They'll never see it coming. I love the back wave options, also!
My heartfelt thanks to Mark, Delia, Mr. Pu and the crew of artisans at Sound Art Guangdong for bringing the RM60 from idea to reality in two months (plus three weeks on the water). I think Mark's factory is one of the world's premier woodworking facilities. No one does better and most don't come close.We will offer every veneer and paint Mark can get his hands on, either stock or on special order. 90 days lead time seems about right for one of a kind finishes and we will stock rosewood, macassar ebony and piano black.
I've been getting notices of undelivered email from me to you, so let me know if there's a better email address. We can talk at CES, we're in the St Tropez RM 1805 and the RM 60's will be there, driven by the AtmaSphere M2 200W OTL monoblocks. I know you'll love them, their sound is as forward-looking and state of the art as their cabinetry.

When I was 18 I spent the summer in Cali with a wealthy family....there were lots and lots of things I saw that I thought were lucious......WOW, the women and girls of that city don't take a back seat in the looks department to anyplace on earth. The weather is great year round too. I'm envious that you own a factory there.

Beautiful looking speakers Brian and Mark.Congratulations.George
John, you and Brian and Mark just gave me the incentive I needed to to lose 30 pounds.At that weight I can use one of these as a coffin when I go to my just rewards. I just ain't leaving these babies behind!
Ummm, All I can say is DAMN! These kick major butt!!!Any thoughts on dampening the rear wave or the wings? I've got a hunch that there may be some reflecting going on back there that may cause audible problems. Basically it looks like you've horn loaded the rear.
