AudioKinesis Cabs Part VI...

Received an email from Duke in early May regarding my order of a H1203T. Yeah, the light at the end of the tunnel was in view regarding family issues and he was hoping to get back in Texas by mid-May sometime (per Soflbass' post above, that time-table may have changed). Sure hope he can resume a more "normal" schedule ASAP. But family comes first. And that tells you the kind of class act Duke is! Whenever the H1203T arrives, it will be eagerly welcomed! :bassist:
 
I just picked up a 1505 cab, what can I say other than it is the best cab i have ever used. The low end is amazing ,real full and defined. I would also recommend studio slips clam shell covers, small mom and pop biz that treats you like family.
Congrats on your new cab.
I also use and support studio slips.
Great local people!! Just like Duke. Hope all is getting better in his world
 
So, I know that there was talk about a TC110 in the past, which would've used the now discontinued Kappalite 3010LF, but has Duke ever considered a 1x8" Thunderchild, of Hathor or Changeling for that matter? The Faital Pro 8PR200 seems like it would fit the bill, but that would make it basically another take on the Greenboy-MAS Crazy 8. Personally, I would love to see Duke's take on a Crazy 8 with his crossover jujitsu and maybe (a) crazy, wacky side-firing/rear-firing/up-firing speaker(s).
Several years ago I owned two Hathor 1203's. Foolishly I sold them. I wasn't getting enough bass and after I sold them learned about the screw in ports.

I did keep in touch with Duke and sometimes mentioned the 10" Hathors. He didn't feel it would be profitable. Now that times are changing I hope he reconsiders. Also considering Trace Elliott has an 8" 200 watt combo and MAS does an 8" bass cab, and the Crazy 8 or crazy 88, maybe the Duke can even consider those projects.

BTW is Duke ok? I haven't been here a while but have continued interest in his speakers. Lately, I've had an interest in owning one of his 1855's and was sad to see the one on Reverb sell. Is Duke ok?

A few people have been in contact with Duke. Check out the recent postings above in this thread
 
I emailed Duke a few days ago checking on my cabs and got no reply? I know he has had some tough times but I ordered almost a year ago.... The communication has been spotty at best. Anyone else hear from Him?
