Any DIY inclination? There are a lot of options there...

Mine I finished a couple days ago.

that looks very impressive, nice work...
Thanks. It was my 2nd veneering project and it went excellent. I was very happy with the outcome :)
How much was the total cost, and how long did it take?
1.5 sheets of 3/4" MDF: $33
Drywall screws: ~$2
Glue: ~$2
Veneer: $22.50 (I got four 36x99" sheets on ebay for $60, used about 1.5 for this project)
Adire Tumult: $290 used in like new condition
Terminal cup: $5
Total: ~$354.50

Took about two weeks total, could have been done in much less time. I especially took my time on the veneering - I took at least 3 days just applying the veneer and a few more days doing the finish lacquering (4 coats total).

Adire no longer sells direct. They list the MSRP on their website. Their dealers will sell under MSRP. New info should be coming soon.

You want it for music? find a dealer near you that stocks REL

www.rel.net to check out their range and find a dealer.....

beautiful subs for music in the ST range, they also suit home cinema as well.....

or just for home cinema their Q range.....they cater for midrange price to audiophile :)

they do have a budget option in Q range, but its really only suitable for small rooms...

their Strata 5 is the nicest for the price i think.....hence i own it...lol

I actually haven't seen it on sale in a few months. I got it just about 1 year ago when it was on sale for $109. If it's a yearly thing, it should be coming up shortly...

A couple weeks after I bought mine it went even lower to $99. It's been $125 for several months though.
