BK Black finishes
Hello,
I would like to order a BK subwoofer in a black finish. But only if it has a wood -look. On the BK site I can only see this with the Monolith. So, have the black finisches for the XLS200, Gemini, Minotaur a more 'just black' look? Are the also 'black-wood' look?
Thx in advance!
Hendrik

Re: BK Black finishes
Best thing to do is phone and ask. They do custom finishes, not sure if they do that though.

Re: BK Black finishes
You are correct. Black Ash is Monolith only as standard.
Marek Sound's (BKs Finnish importer) website shows a few other finishes that we don't get offered, but as suggested a phone call often turns up trumps with special requests.

Re: BK Black finishes
Hey Rob,
That's great! Did you have to pay more for it?
Grtz, Hendrik

Re: BK Black finishes
Just out of interest, what made you go for the gemini over the xls200?

Re: BK Black finishes
Hello,
Wel I think I don't really need the additional power of the XLS200 (275 vs 150W), and my budget was arround 300€.
The Gemini was in my opinion the best sub for my speakers (Kef Cresta 30, 20 and 10). Plus the Gemini has a info display, which will help my setting it up.
First I looked at the MJ Acoustics Pro 50 MKII (120W) and the Rel Quake (100W). The Gemini has a 150 W amplifier. Also the Gemini is the heaviest, wich most of the times is a good sign and has the best price!
Voila, Hendrik
