Posts: 1010 Alexandria, Caintuck	* NEW * Piano finish baffles 07/14/25 at 20:12:38 I have made arrangements with Lii Song Audio to manufacture some "piano finish" baffles for the F-15 and Fast-15 drivers. These baffles are slightly larger than my original hardwood baffles and are a "solid black" gloss piano finish. Information can be found on my website. Happy listening, Randy

Very nice indeed! Best, Geno

Hello to all,

I have been pretty busy and have not had time to do an A / B comparison yet with the Magnum baffles.

Truthfully, I think that they might be a little bit too big for my 12' x 16' listening room.
They will probably work best in a larger room.

However, I have been wrong in the past.
Actually, several times .....

Stay tuned ... I will check them out soon.

Happy listening,
Randy

I finally got around to checking these out in my room with the Lii Song F-15 drivers.
They sound good ..... but I think that they will sound even better in a room larger than my 12' x 16' listening room.

I still have a couple of pairs in stock and have been offering a "year end" sale price of 750.00 (without drivers) + shipping.

The shipping cost to California is about 200.00 ..... so it would be less for most other locations in the continental USA.

This year end pricing is good until 1/31/2026 for anyone who is interested.

As always, they can be auditioned in my listening room in Alexandria, KY for anyone who would be up for a road trip.

Questions and inquiries ? - caintuck.ob@outlook.com

Best wishes for a musical 2026,
Randy
