So was helping another member with his speaker search and found he had built one of Danny's speakers. The member does not seem to have them any longer but was looking for alternatives. When I built the X-LS Encore for Amir to review, had mentioned how quickly it went up in price with upgrades. As I mentioned earlier, GR is having supply issues and cannot ship Encores right now. Since I built them, GR has also started to offer cabinets.
But a pair of unfinished cabinets almost doubles the price of the base kit!
Saw someone mention that Philharmonic Audio has their Affordable Accuracy Monitor back in stock, so I checked it out. It is
under $400 shipped with a
finished cabinet and
no soldering! It also appears to include some
damping material (
@Dennis Murphy to confirm).
That was another expensive adder for the X-LS Encore.
Once you add in GR's damping material, the Encore price is close to $600 BEFORE shipping.
