SongBird pricing
The SongBird 's are now available in three versions: black
satin version, "standard" veneered version and a fully "custom" 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 finish. See a selection of SongSeries
veneer samples.
All of the above cabinet versions can also be upgraded with
upgrade options below.

SongBird Upgrades
...custom means just that
We feel strongly that stock SongBird '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.
Here is a list of upgrades available and their associated
costs. We will try to keep this list updated as additional owners customize
their SongBird projects.

UPGRADES |

Notes |
Cost * |
| Bamboo construction |
Bamboo is fast becoming a very popular material for
speaker building. It is renewable (a
grass), high-mass, inert and VOC free.
It can be veneered or finished in its natural dyed or un-dyed
state. |
$300 |
| Sonicap platinum bypass caps |
Crossover caps are bypassed with Sonicap platinum
bypass caps. These are extremely fast caps that theoretically speed up
charge/discharge times resulting in greater clarity |
$300 |
| Upgrade to solid wood front edge trim |
The roundovers on the HT2-TL's are normally on the
front baffle. However, it is possible to insert hardwood trim on the front
cabinet edges and round that over, eliminating the need for a separate
upper-section front baffle |
$200 labor plus the cost of the actual hardwood used,
the price of which can vary greatly. |
| Upgrade to solid wood front baffles and
plinths |
Solid wood baffles and plinth trim that match or
provide contrast with the cabinet veneer. |
$200 labor plus the cost of the actual hardwood used
and any milling and shipping required. The price of hardwoods can vary
greatly. |
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. |
$1000 |
| * Upgrade prices subject to change as we gain more
experience with these options. |
