For Sale: Birch-Ply Prototype Cube Speakers

Unread post by savvypaul »

Due to the ongoing very high prices for Birch-Ply, and the high costs of manufacture, we won't be making production models of the birch-ply Cubes that we demonstrated at audio shows last year.

They are made from very high grade Baltic birch and are professionally finished. Cabinet bases are lined with steel plate. They can be bought with our new bespoke bass drivers and high quality SEAS tweeters, or you can purchase the cabinets on their own. Bear in mind, though, that the driver opening is too large for the doped QTX drivers that Richard used, so if you only buy the cabs then you will need to source your own drivers. They have bi-amp terminals fitted. At the moment, the capacitor / resistor crossover is fitted to the rear posts, to allow for experimenting with resistor values. We can leave them that way for you, or we can 'finish' them off by fitting the crossover internally.

The cabinets cost us £3500 to have tooled and made. Selling at £2,000. Straight sale. No part exchanges.

The drivers set - 2 x bespoke treated paper pulp 8" bass units and 2 x high quality SEAS tweeters cost us £370, and that is what we will sell them for - if the buyer for the cabs doesn't want them then we can use them in our acrylic demo Cubes. Prices for the bass drivers have increased by 22% since we bought this set.

With materials and parts prices as they are, production sets would have been well over £4k, even on our very low 3x multiplier. That's not the price band that we want to be in.

Grilles included. Stands / pucks not included. No shipping boxes - can be collected from either Durham or near Peterborough.

2 year warranty. 30 day home trial.

PM to enquire / buy.

We'll have these available for demo at the North West Audio Show if they are not sold before then.
