Are these going to have spike locations for the stands?

Bo, for these no, as Mark didn't have them in any of his speakers...

But for the limited run I do with the Lamdba Dipole 12's I will as the base will be different and something really crazy for the field coil/ Lambda Dipole 15's

a 1 am sand session has this guy ready for the date with the painter next week... the other one is close behind..

Picked them up from the painters... they did a hell of a job... I'll be gluing the bloodwood inserts in tomorrow, but I figured I'd toss up a few pics..

excuse the dust as the shop is forever spewing it out :p

Thanks Bob...

They were done at Elite Customs.. I have known the owner for years... He said it was the hardest thing he has ever painted.... he also said it was the first time that something was dropped off that was "ready for paint" that was truly ready for paint

Randy,

Those are awesome

Can't wait to heat them

....oh, the family party was a success BTW. Ended up having just over 25 people. Just sitting out on the back deck now winding down listening to some classical.

Thanks for letting me stop by for a sec... and thanks for the compliments..

And the GASer's are going to freak out when they see the upgrades

First off I want to say thanks to Mark for having me build these for him.. I had a blast.. and soon this will be a full time gig and not a few hours a night

All the wiring is completed and all the inlays are in place.. the last thing left is to rubberize undercoat the bottom of the basses and they are finished..

I had a blast building them and I hope you like them

I took some day pics so you can see the detail a little better

What do you rubberize the bottoms with? I have been wanting to do that.

Nice work....very unique...

Good luck with your future work projects....

Just one question...how tall are those ? Thanks...

MerRev · « **Reply #76 on:** 9 Jun 2010, 01:24 pm »

Absolutely drop dead gorgeous- can't wait to see them in person!!!

BPT · « **Reply #77 on:** 9 Jun 2010, 01:30 pm »

These "one of a kind" speakers turned out awesome! Can't wait to see the next one(s).

They are cool looking. And my wife even likes them

Lonewolf, they are perfect lean height at 36" at the nose cone. The next phase of the design may involve a woofer nestled beneath the Lowther. For now I'll use the bass bin of my Innersounds crossed over around 250-300 hz.

After I get the airconditioning fixed in July let's have a GAS meeting to introduce them to the gang. Thanks for all the great comments and it's been a fun trip working with Randy on his cool design.

Yep! My commanding general likes them, too, but I bet she'd insist on pushing them back against the wall, like she wants me to do with the Maggies.
