    Default Re: Black Finishes!

    As promised, here are pictures of complete cabinets in the various "black" finish options. I felt creative so I broke out the 'ole Les Paul in order to show the differences in the sheen

    Hand Rubbed Piano Black:



    High Gloss Black (90 sheen):



    Satin Black (20 sheen):



    Matte Black (Black Sand Finish, VERY DURABLE!!!):



    And a shot with all of them:



    From left to right:

    Piano Black, High Gloss Black, Satin Black, Matte Black


    For easy reference, I will list the introductory prices again:

    *Hand Rubbed Piano Black = $2848/pr + shipping (edited to reflect latest pricing)

    High Gloss Black = $1998/pr + shipping

    Satin Black = $1998/pr + shipping

    Matte Black = $1898/pr + shipping

    Natural Finish = $1898/pr + shipping

    Dark Cherry Satin = $1998/pr + shipping

    Espresso Satin = $1998/pr + shipping

    *Note: Piano Black is considered a custom finish and will require a non-refundable $950 deposit.


    All the finishes look great and emails will be sent out within a few hours confirming finish choices.

    Thanks so much for your patience!!!!

    Thanks Dave! Excellent job!! The pictures really show off the differences in the 4 finishes.

    The only thing I'd like to see added is a picture of the natural finish as I really like how my natural Sierra-1 NrT's look.

    Very Nice! Beautiful speakers and the Les Paul was a great way to show the differences. The Piano Black is just gorgeous!

    Hey Dave,

    Love the photos and the finishes.

    Curious question - why are the grill peg holes different (lower) on the Piano Black cabinet?

    You have good eyes!

    These piano black cabinets were our first prototype samples. Based on feedback, we shortened the length of the grill for the final version and it looks much better.

    Default Re: STC (Sierra Tower Center)

    Many of you have asked for a picture of the center....

    Here are 2 pics of the cabinet construction showing the front slot ports and separate midrange enclosure. As you can see, it is a complicated enclosure but our goal is to precisely match the performance of the Sierra Tower.

    The final version should be completed within a week and I will post more pictures then...

    looks great dave! im a big fan of the satin. i can't wait for a product page to show up, displaying all of the specs and features
    not sure if this was covered, but what kind of placement do you suggest for the towers, specifically the minimum to the behind-wall distance as well the front-seating distance.

    Are those slits along the bottom part of the port? pretty slick! oh and im guessing this center speaker is meant to be flipped if placed below screen?
