Those cabinets really are quite something.

They are surprising light weight but very stable and rigid. Lets see how that sounds.

Joachim,
If the speakers sound as good as they look you will have a winner on your hands there. I really like the enclosures and I am more than picky myself. I particularly like both the contrast of colors and also the shape and the port flaring. Very nice work from someone on the loudspeaker side.

Joachim Gerhard · 19th January 2013, 09:49 PM

I am really happy that you like it. I build so many speakers that i sometimes think i can not make anything new. On the other hand we say in Germany " There is still a lot of juice in an old lemon ".

Joachim,
It looks like you still know how to make lemonade out of lemons....... Is the piano black finish paint or a laminate, and if it is what is the cabinet constructed from? I have pulled my hair out getting this type of black finish on mdf far to many times, and I am a painter when I need to be. I have painted many custom car finishes and know paint coatings very well. I imagine that the wood veneer is finished with a catalyzed two component clear coat and hand finished. Excellent work.

the finish is hand-polished piano finish... It's done by adding at 1.2 mm thick clear polyester coat over the black base color. The clear coat is then by hand polished down to 0,6-0.8 mm... same process they do on a Steinway grand piano.

MIIB,
Thank you for the reply. Are they made in Denmark or are they imported cabinets. They are very nice looking and I am sure of excellent quality.

Joachim Gerhard · 19th January 2013, 11:22 PM

They are made by SB in Indonesia.
