The brass rods could just be polished and kept. They will look nice.
Won't the painting affect the resonant frequency of the brass ? I have seen similar ones on Merlin loudspeakers. Are these designed keeping in mind the resonance of the baffle like the merlins ?
Awesome job Suri !

...and yet we debate over how the music should sound in our systems, that they made with those 4.0 Sq.mm cables in the first place
@ rallynut, @ squarewave -
in the initial stages - the idea was to polish the brass and clear-coat it -
audio_engr, then put a seed of doubt in my mind - he asked " do you not think that polished brass on the front face of a (big) speaker like this would look out of place?
the more i thought about it, the more it seemed that polished brass would look out of place - a little bit of photoshop showed that polished brass would be a huge highlight and would detract from the speaker as a whole - dark colours looked best - not sure, squarewave - whether painting would change the resonant frequency of brass (and yes, the idea was to absorb and dissipate the energy) - not sure, also about the resonant frequency of brass and if it differs between flats, rods and other shapes of brass - these are solid brass rods (round) cut lengthwise into half.
anyway the deed is done as you can see here-

I reserve my comments
hehehe!!!! -unleash_me!
cannot wait myself - on pins and needles! - wondering if they will sing like nightingales or cackle and scream like witches!!!:lol:
edit - that sabrina in the link you posted - she has fancy tires - love handles? - reminds me of the time when my wife's cousin started a business and named it after his wife - and my wife said " why can't you do something like that for me?" - so i go - " sure, and we'll name it "Sushma's little tire shop" - well, hehehe! - selling auto-rickshaw tires!

I see. Actually I have seen thoe stuff at elusivedisc.com couldn't make much what they are actually doing. Seemed like a crazy idea to me. Now it is confirmed that you are truly an audiophile.
