Neo 2X Construction Photographs

 Last weekend I finished building a pair of GR Research Neo 2X speakers which was very enjoyable project. Pleased with how well they turned out. The following are a few pictures taken at various stages during the construction. Sound quality of these speakers is excellent. I will post comments later after they have had a chance to break in more.

Try this Ron,

Click the "modify" button on your first post to pull the original up again (upper right hand corner).

Highlight the text for each picture by holding down the mouse button and dragging it over the text.

Then click the picture icon. It is the one right under the "B".

It will put an "img" in brackets at the front of it and another one in brackets at the end, "/img".

Do that for each pic and hit "save changes" at the bottom.

 Thank you very much Danny for the info! I was starting to get very frustrated trying to get the picture to appear rather than a link. Greatly appreciate your help.

Very nice - what is that veneer?

 It took me over a month to build them due to numerous delays in taking care of urgent family matters. Normally I would say that it would probably take me a total of about 6-8 hours to build from start to finish. If you have a well equipped wood working shop and are really fast with your hands,then it would take less time;however, when I build speakers,I try to take my time and  build it the best I can so it normally takes more time.

 The veneer is naturally cherry with about six  (6) coats of polyurethane top coat finish,lightly sanded with 600 grit sandpaper between coats.

Truthfully not enough time with them. Too many nice days and outside projects to do that lately I dont' seem to have time. I watched a movie in my HT room for the first time in like a month this past weekend.
