Just ordered a black gloss version. I hope its an improvment on my Kef 2010.

How long does it normally take for BK subs to be built?

They seemed to disappear from the site a couple of weeks ago, from memory the range was the same as the XLS-200.

the minotaur has been discontinued and looks like you can no longer order the gemini. wish BK would give me an update on my order zzzz

[paul.w]

i was quoted 2 weeks for my monolith df in oak, which seems to be the standard quote for delivery. however it actualy took just over a month.
its a complete waste of time trying to phone them, because the woman will take your number, but never bothers to ring you back which is bloody annoying !!!
however i can report that the sub is a great piece of kit and well worth the wait.

Hi,

I ordered a Gemini in light oak via the telephone last Thursday. I was quoted 2weeks.

The lady who took my order didn't have any specific details but said the MK2 was to be the same price as the MK 1 even although 'it would be much improved over the MK1'.

Regards

Pete

My order is a mk2 but i am not sure if i can reveal details of the new sub.

Im sure bk will let you know though

[Lockhouse]

The nice lady at BK told me BK black gloss subs only go to be lacquered every two weeks so it can be up to a 3 week delay for black gloss if you're order has to wait for the next batch. I've got a black gloss XLS 200 on order

[gex18]

I myself am torn between this subwoofer, or an MS309i, as this is a similar price why did you guys choose the BK Gemini? On a sidenote how much extra is the Gloss Black over the other finishes (I want it to match my Quad speakers)?

Many thanks

Anthony

Gemini MK2 ???

Whats the specs?
I only got my mk1 a few weeks ago.

Had to wait 2 weeks and 2 days as i ordered it in high gloss. It is a nice sub though. Small and stylish and sounds good too.
Heres a pic of my Gemini to keep you guys hanging in there

Ok, i hope it is ok posting this but this is what i know:

Slightly bigger dimensions

10" lightweight poly subwoofer for faster responce

Apparently, it goes lower and deeper than mk1

Price will be the same +/- a few £

[Sunshinewelly]

is there any more news on this sub.

i am sure that someone said that it appeared on the BK site then was removed.

Thread merged with this one

It's now showing up on the website: Gemini

Sounds really good!! Though it has grown slightly.

[peternut]

I had mine delivered yesterday. I've hooked it up to a Yamaha YSP 30D

It's top quality and I went for light oak to match our other furniture. Here's some pics

I played U571 on DVD and the 'boom' from the sub was superb when the depth charges exploded.

I've got a Kef set up with an HTB2 powered by a Denon amp in my main room and imo the Gemini is better.

Cost the same as the Gemini MK1 as well.

Cheers

Pete

That looks really nice there, matches the unit well. It's a knats knacker off the size of the xls200 now I notice.

[Repton]

Peternut

Looks superb in light oak finish!
matches your other equipment really well.

I presume that the Gemini that's on the site is the MK2?

Do they charge the CC when they ship the sub or when ordering?

[peternut]

I would presume so as it states that it's the MK2.

Mine was charged when it was ready to be despatched

How long did it take from order to delivery?
Philip

[peternut]

3 weeks

[philipdavies]

Thanks.
I ordered mine two weeks ago and although they quote 7-10 days it seems its always around 3 weeks. You'd think they would give more accurate estimates.

Hi peternut

The sub looks fantastic in light oak

Can you post a picture of the other side please

How does it sound ?

I am new to subs and am looking into buying the Gemini MK2 but don't know if I should maybe go for the XLS200 instead

I see you are based in Glasgow so maybe if you don't mind I could pop round and have a listen

Cheers

[peternut]

Hi,

The sub sounds great as I mentioned in an earlier post - better than my KEF. Lots more ooomph & boom.

There's a pic of the back on the BK website (saves me taking a photo and uploading!)

Pete

[Genghis]

Have you tested it with music as I will be using my sub with a hi-fi setup only and not for cinema ?
How is the bass with music ?
Cheers
