Veracity HT3/HT3a pricing/upgrades ...
The Veracity HT3's are now available in four versions:
base cabinet version, veneered cabinet version, full-blown cabinet version and
HT3a (active crossover version).
All versions feature the same cabinet bracing and
construction techniques, the same drivers and the same crossovers (with the
exception of the HT3a's which are active). 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 HT3 version features 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 HT3 options are available for those who wish to
upgrade.
Base version pricing starts at $4895.00 per pair.
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 HT3
base version above. All HT3 upgrades are also available.
Veneered cabinet pricing starts at $5295 per pair. See chart below.
 full-blown cabinets
The Veracity HT3 full-blown version is shown in many
photographs on this site. In addition to the features above, the full-blown
version includes satin black MDF front baffles for the midrange/tweeter
section, grills for the woofer section, plinths (bases) and our deluxe spikes.
Custom solid wood front baffles and plinths are also available as are
all other HT3 options.
Full-blown cabinet
version pricing starts at $5695.00 per pair. See chart
below.
HT3a version
The Veracity HT3a (active crossover version) is
available in any of the cabinet versions above and includes the addition of a
DEQX active crossover (six channels of amplification required - amps sold
separately if needed).
Simply add the DEQX unit price to the above
version prices. Call for current prices.

Veracity HT3 Upgrades
...custom means just that
Based on experience with many HT3 owners, we feel
strongly that stock Veracity HT3'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 customers have ordered to
date and their associated costs. We will try to keep this list updated as
additional owners customize their HT3 projects.
|
CUSTOMER ORDERED
UPGRADES |
|
Upgrade |
Notes |
Cost * |
| Upgrade to solid wood partial or full front baffles and
plinths |
Front baffles and plinths are replaced by solid wood
baffles 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. |
| Contour switch |
Modifies top end response to reduce treble by a slight
amount. Normally not required. |
$300 |
| Sonicap Upgrade |
Replace standard Solen caps in the midrange and tweeter
crossovers with Sonicaps. There are several large values in the midrange
crossover. Sonicaps are not available in these values, so MANY are required to
arrive at the necessary values.
Also features bypass caps on critical
components.
(These upgraded caps are not required for the woofer
crossover since the frequencies in question are so low it would have no
impact.) |
$600 |
| Blackhole 5 |
Blackhole 5 is considered among the best cabinet sound
deadening acoustical treaments availble. 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. |
$1500 |
| Active/Passive option |
Adds additional binding posts and switches to allow for
future use of an active crossover. When installed, the user can choose between
active outboard crossovers or the internal passive crossovers and even A/B
compare the two. |
$500 |
| Outboard passive crossovers |
The addition of stand-alone cabinets housing the HT3
passive crossovers. Includes additional required cabling and binding posts.
Outboard crossover enclosures are normally finished with the same veneer/woods
as the HT3's themselves.
Also allows for future conversion to HT3a
active DEQX-based crossovers |
$600 |
| Cardas "Patented" binding posts |
Binding posts that work with RSA's internal wiring. No
solder joints. Internal and external speaker wires are in direct physical
contact and locked in place with these binding posts |
$100 for the four required pairs |
| Ridge Street Audio "Poiema!!" internal
wiring |
RSA's acclaimed ExLGII™ silver conductors and
CordLess Cable Technology wire harness custom-made for the Veracity
HT3. |
$968.00

details, options or HT3 harness specials. |

room. |
