Best ever deal for loudspeaker kits.

I think I have listed all those who have opted for the cabinets. Sorry if I missed your name, edited the list to add you. What are the other missing names?

Sivakuru, Rgn1, josephjohnt

 

[baswamin]

I have done my payments some time back. Now, the long wait for the kits to arrive in India.

Thanks

Oops, did I miss so many names!!

Can't figure out where they made the choice. Will wait for their confirmation before adding them.

 

[stereorules]

btw captain, any tentative idea of pricing of chennai made cabinets ?

Secondly, is the final position now that the consignment will arrive in chennai on one persons name and will have to be customs cleared there ?

Yes, that's the way it's going to be.

Capt,

I don't know whether my name is missed from the Chennai made cabinets. I need them for a pair of X-LS Encore Stereo speakers and Encore X-CS Centre speaker.

Thanks

OK guys, had a very long chat with Sunit and Devkumar of Peerless. Re-importing of drivers through Peerless is ruled out due to bureaucratic red tape. We will have to pay customs and duties as explained earlier here

Since it has been some time since the GB was announced, I'm not sure how many of us are still interested. I'm posting the interest here (Including those who posted lately) Kindly calculate your payments by discounting the below figures to the tune of 15%

Do also mention in the thread as to how many of us paid already. Shall we keep the payment open of a certain period of time? We can give a cutoff date within next 15 to 20 days IMO. What do you say?

Hi Captain,
sorry but due to other commitments I am pulling out of this. can hardly devote any time for DIY now.
I do believe its not a big issue with many new request for the kits.
I wish this initiative is a big success and thank you for your time and efforts.

 

[captrajesh]

will take a call on the cabs then.

Do I take it as yes? More the cabinets, less would be the cost.

if the guys who have/are paying danny can update somewhere so that we know where we stand w.r.t payment position

Good idea. Opening a Google sheet

Please add my name to the chennai make cabinet list.

Done

No problem. Will edit the list.

after reading the whole thread i got some idea of what iam looking for

i would need X-LS Encore Stereo speaker pair kit

then i would also wish to add one more speaker to the same book shelf if that is possible and usefull

the way it is there in the paradigm signature series Paradigm Signature S4 Loudspeaker Review (Audio Ideas Guide)

do we have a driver,sub,tweeter all in one bookshelf ( X-LS encore , will it work good for bass , mids , highs etc ) or do we need to add one more small sub ? or will it be an overkill ?

if yes then is the crossover which you providing will help to connect all the three ( tweeter, driver, sub ) ?

because i dont want to go for a separate sub , iam looking for 2 channel setup, bookshelf with all the capabilities to play the bass , mids, higs etc

The X-LS Encore will easily out perform the Paradigm (as in better sound quality).

I have a good stock on our servo controlled subs and A370PEQ amps. They are the highest quality performing subs in the industry right now.

A pair of X-LS Encore and a servo sub is a great combo.

Capt. Rajesh,

At this late juncture, is it possible to order a V- 2 kit in this group buy ?

Jayant

No problem, but it is already on sale. So I can let you have it for the sale price (no further discounts).

And that is a GREAT sounding speaker.

 

[Danny Richie]

I'm confirming for
X-LS Encore Stereo speaker pair kit @ 149
AND
Sonicap upgrade for X-LS Encore(Best bang for the buck)@ $72.40

I'm assuming that the addnl 15% discount is on the $149 and not available on $72.40 ...So my total works out to 126.65 + 72.4 = $ 199.05 ..this is landed price at Indian Port.

Customs + + + addnl from there ...

You got it.

 

[magma]

Danny can you share with us the cab details at this juncture?
Will help us to branstorm about the enclosure

will also help clear my doubts if adequate bracing etc is incorporated in deign
single layer baffle or dual
etc etc
i am also experimenting with Aluminium enclosures - at least the front and rear baffles- both held togethr by aluminum brace

cab specs will help us

 

[captrajesh]

Hey Magma, Danny already posted the hyperlink. I've downloaded it. Can send it to u. PM me ur mail id.

I request all the participants to PM me their mail ids and mobile numbers. Do update the google sheet

Danny,

Thanks !

How different sounding would Super V be from V2 ?

If you were to offer similar percentage discount on Super V, I will be greatly tempted to consider that instead.

You have got to be kidding man ....If this is indeed so, I would be the happiest person
