We're now accepting orders for the third Jäger kit run. The order window will be two weeks long - ends June 12th - so that everyone interested can get the funds together, and we estimate that shipping will begin about four to six weeks after the order period closes. You can order at the link below.

Hi Doc

I'm really tempted to order (thank you yearly bonus from work). I'm currently using a pair of Klipsch floorstanders with the Kaiju but I'd love to have an upgrade.

I have a question - is there now a way for you to ship to the UK? I seem to recall this wasn't available when you launched the kit.
 
The kit should ship to most international destinations. They are heavy and large, so shipping will be expensive. To determine if it will ship to your location and the cost, add the kit to your cart and it will provide the estimate (or tell you shipping is not available) based on your shipping address.
 
Sure, just shoot us an email or give us a call. BTW the office is closed today for vacations and birthdays (Eileen's). We'll be back tomorrow.
 
Dear Folks;

Having had ordering problems on the first two releases, it was Josh who today fixed the problem I was having with the cart, and now I am a confirmed member of the Third Run Jaeger Club. Whoee! My room has been treated in anticipation of the Jaeger's arrival, and space will be cleared in the pottery studio for the build. It should play well with my Custom Bottlehead 2A3 amp with its JJ 2A3-40 tubes putting out 3.5 watts.

Cheers to BH, Hank in Eugene
 
Yes, and we have ordered an extra set of cabinets in case anyone who did not get their order in by the closing date would like a kit.
 
Everything is here and Josh has updated the manual for the new front panel fasteners. We are just waiting for some hardware which should be here early next week. I think you guys will like these. The edge banding came out really nice.
 
I am thinking about lightening the tone of the birch-ply on my pair.
Does anyone have a suggestion on finishing products that would work?

Also, has anyone found an acceptable cover for the drivers? Foam? Cloth? etc?

Cheers, Hank
 
To get a light cabinet color, I would use a light finish.  The water based poly clear coats that we have used over the years seem to be extremely light, but you'll have to do several coats with a decent amount of sanding between them.  I used Tried and True on my prototype Jagers and they didn't darken at all.

That is a lot tube gear.  Is it all connected to your system?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I had a couple of questions:

My first (are the cabinets included in the kit price), I believe has been answered as “YES”, after reading the posts.

My second: is the price for a single speaker, or a pair?

Thank you!
