Nice one Frank. A friend is using Lucents and the reports about them are pretty good.

yea, ive heard a lot about them too. hehe. the tweets and crossovers will be luccent too. i think the tweeter in the IM-6 is one of the best in that budget, so not chopping and changing too much.

i agree cheers:. but im sure, there must be an explanation. methinks the Luccent series is no longer produced, the world over.

Congrats, Frank! So the cat is now out of the bag, eh? You need to take something for chronic upgraditis before it gets out of control

frankmehta · 28th January 2009, 11:08

This time there's going to be prodigious amount of damping in the front doors too.
Chronic upgraditis is a pain, really! makes me do stuff! bought the luccents while i was sleepwalking. oh, and the medications are soooo strong, i hope i dont go out and buy a Tru technology/Genesis amp under the 'effect' someday (thats a long time away, though. but possible. waiting to earn my own money and get one of those)

frankmehta · 28th January 2009, 11:43

who are the other LUCCENT owners on tbhp? any pointers????

Buddy, remember what I told you when we were chatting a few days back. You are one hell of a mad dentist.
Howver, kudos on getting the Lucents. I sicerely think you are going to blow your esteem to smithreens, one of these days.

So, what's the next upgrade in pipeline? A STEG may be?

frankmehta · 28th January 2009, 14:15

thank you Xeta. that 2 AM conversation didnt work on me.
hehehe!

Amey has Lucents in the 3-way setup in his Swift.

frankmehta · 28th January 2009, 16:42

By other members, i meant the lesser mortals like us. Not Steg and 3 way setup owners :-)

abhinav.gupta88 · 28th January 2009, 21:39

Lol. I heard they are good.
However they have been discontinued.
How much are you getting them for .

(If you can't tell publically. Can you pm.)

frankmehta · 28th January 2009, 21:45

i promise i shall list the actual pricing as soon as i get the details myself.
cousin picking them up from USA. i dunno how much the tweeter and crossover will set me back by but hope the final cost is less :-(
i think my parents are about to disown me
