Veracity HT2 pricing/upgrades ...

Both Veracity HT2 versions (sealed 22' monitor and 40" tall ported floor-standing) are available in three versions: base cabinet version, veneered cabinet version and full-blown cabinet version.

All versions feature the same cabinet bracing and construction techniques, the same drivers and the same crossovers. So there is no difference in terms of performance between these versions. It is simply a matter of cabinet style.

base cabinets

The base cabinet HT2 versions feature black satin (other colors optional) MDF cabinets. Grills and plinths are optional. The base version is outfitted with our standard spikes and standard 5-way binding posts, but all HT2 options are available for those who wish to upgrade.

Base version pricing starts at $3095.00 per pair for the sealed monitors and $3295.00 for the ported floor-standing version. See chart below.

veneered cabinets

For those wishing for the look of natural wood, veneered cabinets are also available. This base price of this version features your choice of a wide variety of standard veneers (upgrades to premium veneers are naturally available) and hardwood trim, along with all the features of the HT2 base version above. All HT2 upgrades are also available.

Veneered cabinet pricing starts at $3295 per pair for the sealed monitors and $3495 for the ported floor-standing version. See chart below.

HT3full-blown cabinets

The Veracity HT2 full-blown version features the veneered cabinets shown above plus plinths (bases) and our deluxe spikes. Custom solid wood front baffles and plinths are also available as are all other HT2 options.

Full-blown cabinet version pricing starts at $3495.00 per pair for the sealed monitors and $3695 for the ported floor-standing version. See chart below.

Veracity HT2 Upgrades

...custom means just that

We feel strongly that stock Veracity HT2's will satisfy even the most demanding audiophile. But we are, after all, custom builders. So if you want something unique in terms of modifications, we will make it happen for you.

customer ordered upgrades

Here is a list of upgrades available and their associated costs. We will try to keep this list updated as additional owners customize their HT2 projects.

CUSTOMER ORDERED UPGRADES
Upgrade
Notes
Cost *
Upgrade to solid wood front baffles and plinths Solid wood baffles and plinths that match or provide contrast with the cabinet veneer. Highly variable - you simply pay the market price of the woods used and any additional milling or shipping required.
Blackhole 5 Blackhole 5 is considered among the best cabinet sound deadening acoustical treatments available. Cuts down cabinet vibrations even further. $300
Hand-rubbed, high-gloss piano lacquer finish

(regular high-gloss finish can be applied at no extra charge)
This finishing process is extremely labor intensive. Speakers are hand-rubbed to a mirror-like finish similar to fine musical instruments and furniture. $1200
Outboard passive crossovers The addition of stand-alone cabinets housing the HT2 passive crossovers. Includes additional required cabling and binding posts. Outboard crossover enclosures are normally finished with the same veneer/woods as the HT2's themselves.

Also allows for future conversion to HT2a active DEQX-based crossovers
$500
DEQX-based active crossover DEQX Corrected™ active crossover version of the HT2. DEQX time and phase aligns the drivers and offers in-room EQ to deal effectively with room modes. The result is flat response within your room. DEQX prices - call or email for current pricing
* Upgrade prices subject to change as we gain more experience with these options.
