Folks:
I hosted an Elsinore speaker building project during the Summer of 2018, during which four pairs of Elsinores were completed (see the write-up at Post #2407: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/the-elsinore-project-thread.97043/page-121#post-5690827). This is the Mk 6 version of Joe Rasmussen's Elsinore design. The cabinets were professionally manufactured in a furniture-making factory and finished in beautiful piano black. They sport a few extra features, including a tool-less removable panel to access the crossover space (which is enormous), a removable crossover board, threaded inserts and neodymium magnets embedded in the front panel (to hold a grill in place). What I didn't mention in my write-up was that one extra set of cabinets were produced. That pair of cabinets has been on display since then as evidence of the quality of work the factory can produce. The cabinets are in excellent shape and are now up for sale.
The photos below were taken during the build in my living room and do not include the pair of cabinets for sale now, but the pair for sale is identical to the ones in the photos.
The Elsinore cabinets are not going to be shipped -- creating shipping containers for them is far too much work -- so local pick-up in the Northeast region of Philadelphia, PA will be required. Sorry, but if you want them, you have to come get them. In something big.
Asking price is $1,250 for the pair. Please PM me if interested.

It should be mentioned that these cabinets are unique in that they are fabricated from 1" HDF (practically impossible to source), which makes them heavy as a truck and acoustically dead as a door-nail.
I saw 3-4 pieces of that at a painting business liquidation sale over the weekend, guessing 3 x 4'. Thought about speaker cabs, then thought about my back - left 'em.
Folks:
I should note that these cabinets are currently under contract. If that sale falls through I'll note it on this thread, of course.

Scott

Do you have a picture of the crossover space? That didn't take long for them to go pending. Best of luck 🙂
Folks:
I'm a little surprised to write this, but I understand the guy who wanted to buy the Elsinore cabinets has incurred some unforeseen expenses and has decided to not move forward with the purchase. The cabinets are in excellent condition (and are still wrapped as seen in the photos in the first post above) and are back on the market.
Interested parties are invited to reach out to me, preferably by PM.

Just going to put my question here.
I would assume there are no electronics or wave guides included? Is it already internally baffled, however?
Thank you!

Correct, there are no crossover parts or wave guides included. Finding suitable crossover parts is generally pretty easy. Joe Rasmussen sells the wave guides (and they are gorgeous). I do believe the owner of this pair of cabinets has the port tubes, though, which would be included in the sale. The port tubes we used fit perfectly in the existing port holes (they are very snug without the need for any adhesive), and the model we used (which I've identified in a couple of posts in the Elsinore thread) is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
