A request for Danny - LS Center Channel Kit

Outofthewoods · « **Reply #200 on:** 22 Jun 2011, 01:47 am »

Hey Guys,

Now that we're ready to roll, I need to make a few calls to find the best veneer pricing. I'll get back with a number within the next day, or so.

Thanks,

Ruben

Here is a measured response showing the individual drivers. Blue is the tweeter of coarse. Green is the inside two woofers. And Purple is the outside four woofers.

The whole lower range is about +/-1db.

Sound O,

Any louder and the walls will come tumbling down! YAYA!

I would absolutely want to hear your theater when the new center is installed.

Can I get an invite?

I have never heard dynamic range like the lobby sequence in The Matrix on your LS system. WOW!

Rumor has it that Ruben has started a (3) unit production run (2 Piano Black, 1 Satin Black) this morning and they should be ready to prime by tomorrow evening

Outofthewoods · « **Reply #206 on:** 30 Jun 2011, 02:47 pm »

It's true!

However, I may go ahead and finish all three in Piano Black.

I'll likely have these guys primed tonight and ready for paint by the end of tomorrow.

Also, after some further thought, I've decided to build both styles of the veneered version before I price them. I tend to underestimate my labor and end up shorting myself.

After this run is done I will start working on the veneered LS-C's.

Thanks,

Ruben

Had to hold off on priming until today.

I'll post pics of these three units coated in primer tonight.

Thanks,

Ruben

Are any of those 3 up for sale?

Outofthewoods · « **Reply #210 on:** 1 Jul 2011, 06:07 pm »

Hey Eric,

I'm pretty sure they're all spoken for.

It's no biggie to start another run though.

Are you considering going with Piano Black instead?

Ruben

edoggrc51 · « **Reply #211 on:** 1 Jul 2011, 07:31 pm »

Can ya get me pricing on:

Piano black
Rosewood

A little late, but here they are.

Beauties!

Outofthewoods · « **Reply #214 on:** 4 Jul 2011, 05:38 pm »

Cool lookin' aren't they!

Here are the build details:

Premium Super Refined MDF all around

1.25" Front baffle

.75" Top, bottom, sides, rear baffle and bracing

(6) .375" Cylindrical Neo Magnets for grille attachment

.75" Round-over along the length of the array which is designed to minimize surface reflections and edge diffraction.

All outside joinery selected to eliminate telegraphing

Bracing holes and inside edge of woofer cutouts rounded over to allow optimum air flow

(2) step sealing and priming process that's followed up with a premium two-stage Urethane finish

I think that about covers it!

I'll post more pics as I progress through the builds.

Thanks,

Ruben

Hi Ruben,

Those cabinets look great. When you get a chance, can you give us a list of prices for the complete center speaker in each finish type, if there's differences, as well as the complete x-voce type complete center? Also, could you give us cabinet only prices too?

You already PM'd me with shipping cost.

Thanks

any further progress ?? i would love to see the finished product.......thanks

Was hoping to build this monster but need to settle on a x-voce for now.

Looking for a dark natural wood finish. thanks

I've not been home for a couple of weeks so these were put on hold.

I'm spraying base and clear coats today, so I can post some painted pics tomorrow. As soon as the finish has cured sufficiently I'll get to work on refining the finish and then I can put up some hi-rez "glamor shots".

Thanks,

Ruben

OK, a few questions:

1) I'm guessing that the graph that Danny posted earlier indicates a sensitivity in the 92-93 range - a bit more efficient than the LS6, and closer to the LS9. Is that correct?

2) Any idea when we will start seeing these in the wild? More specifically, some comments from end users?

I'm curious as to how they will fair compared to the X-Voce, more specifically, with modified x-overs on the X-voce? Trying to figure out which route to go - these, or upgrading my X-voce crossover.

(FYI - I have LS6'es with platinum Sonicap upgrade)

Gotta figure out which way to go!
