Al; I agree, they are better today than yesterday!

Beautiful woodworking, looks like you have more species of veneer than Constantine and Sons; nice to have something that sounds AND LOOKS great.

Regards;
Pete

Thanks Peter.

Yes over 30 species on hand all exotics.
Some rolls 10ft long.

Like the look of Exotics or burls adds a finishing touch to something already Exotic. (FR125)

Day by day they get better with age

How do they sound in a nearfield setup witht he ports in the front; referring to RAW's picture. I will be using them in the recommended enclosure with the provided baffle as computer speakers and they will be about 6 inches from the wall. Would a front port be most beneficial for me here? Or would a rear port help them to go a bit lower? Thanks.

I have them playing in a room 12x12 with a high vaulted ceiling of 16ft.
But have also played them in a smaller room just as you asked about pushed up against the wall and had no issue with any noise from the front port.
This is why I did so.
The design was for wall mounting if needed as well as mini monitors that could only find a spot in a wall unit or close to the wall.

They also make a great surround as well.

My guess, is that in your situation no port, or a rolled up piece of foam in the port will give you the most staisfactory performance.

I have contacted my shipping agent to see whether anything can be done.

For those asking.
As of the news reported.This changes nothing till the labour issue is resolved.
As those who cross the line get the truck drove over the line damaged as well as any others they have.This was reported on the news by a company who drove across to get a container for their company.So who wants to cross the line.
Containers have been going out via rail but not local only long distance.And no there is not a single container with only CSS product sitting.There is other items in that contanter as well.So the CSS drivers can not be put on a train.
Believe me you all, if Bob could and can get them he would.
But not very many people want to cross a picket line and still smile at their fellow workers after the fact

As Bob noted I know he will call (today) as soon as they are open to see about getting the product.But my guess is still NO till the flags drop at from the pickets.

We are just stuck waiting.

beutifull veneer work on those, I also like the front ports, have you built a rear port version?

RAW · 23rd July 2005, 02:43 PM

Yes and nothing different.Same size just rear ported.
We have the CNC Baffles and magnetic grills in stock so makes assembley of the cabinet very quick.

The rear ported model is finished in Quilted Maple.
Photos some time next week.
