Care package came in the mail today - I've been anticipating this since June ...
First shot is the new one against the old JBL Factory lens - its a great size match!
And the wood grain - pictures don't do them justice ...

Not much to say, other than - they are brilliant, gorgeous, magnificent!
... I'll just hush up and post some pix now ...
let the images speak for themselves!

For more info - see Indycraft - they're from FoamTrends!


(and yes, I know I need foilcals on the baffleboard -
I figure that's due AFTER I rebuild the crossovers,
and build grills for them - tho I did just get grill badges last month!)

Very cool! :applaud:

When you've had a chance to do some listening on them, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on any audible differences.

Just played Van Morrison - Beautiful Vision (http://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Vision-Van-Morrison/dp/B000002KNG)(played the whole CD)
jazz to bagpipes to scat singing and gospel choirs ...
... sound fine to me - no audible change from the plastic lenses, but -
I didn't expect an audible change (should I?)
... I figured it would be a visual improvement ...

More music over the weekend -
I'll let you know if anything sounds twitchy ...

This is a shot from Kenji just like my pair. They came with my 4345s from NewZenith (via saeman (http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=16275&highlight=4345) and Norealtalent) who said he never heard a difference but loved the look! I have no idea why the top four fins had the corners cut. Maybe Rick can explain the purpose.

Yours look great and the craftsmanship appears first-rate. :applaud:
