The Story

Philip paid a visit to a nearby HT3 owner and had a listen. This got him thinking. A few weeks later, he was traveling on a business trip to the Detroit area and paid us a visit. We put a pair of HT3's through their paces and talked about options.

Philip was so pleased with the sound of the stock HT3's we played for him, he decided that no options were necessary. So the only question we needed to resolve was the finish.

The discussion in this regard was rather short. Philip described himself as a "philistine" when it came to woods and veneers. Since he was using these speakers for both music and home theater, he preferred to have them in flat black so as to cut down on reflections when used for home theater.

Normally we would not feature cabinets this simple in the Veracity of the Month category. But rather than shooting these in straight black, we did a black "pearl" automotive-type finish. While you can't see the pearl in these photos and wouldn't notice it in most low light settings, when the light is bright enough, you see the pearl plain as day.

Philip just ordered some replacement plinths in black granite which match the sparkle in the pearl very well.

What's next?

V3's in a satin black with rosewood front baffles. Stay tuned...
