Veracity of the
month...
— every so often this page will highlight a
truly unique
"Special Edition" Veracity project...
August
Kevin Olson had once worked in retail audio and has over
30 years experience as a dedicated audiophile. So choosing a new speaker system
was a critical decision. He also wanted a "piece of art" with a high wife
approval factor.
We emailed back and forth for quite a while discussing
finishing options and settled on fiddleback anegre with walnut trim and claro
walnut front baffles. He also requested outboard crossover enclosures.
crossover enclosures
We used the same fiddleback anegre and walnut for the
crossover enclosures. Neutrik Speak-On connectors were used to connect the
crossovers to the speakers themselves.
Kevin commented that, "The QW's are playing beautiful
music and looking like art in my living room. Non-audiophile friends are
describing audiopohile 'hearing.' It's amazing."
Happy listening Kevin!

what's next?
I know I promised these last month, but a number of
other speaker projects got in the way. But I'm close to finishing a pair of
HT1's in cinnamon burl with bosse pomele front baffles. I'm also close to
finishing a pair of macassar ebony HT1's with beautiful claro walnut front
baffles. These will be the richest looking pair I have ever produced. And there
are a few other surprises we'll be ready to announce shortly.
Stay tuned...
