Experience with North Creek Speakers

John, I was interested in the Rhythm/Revelator Signature which is something I would like to hear/audition. Thanks, Steve

Very hard to imagine getting more for your money elsewhere. North Creek speakers are a labor of love and I would have two pairs except they ran out of the kits I wanted before I had the money saved.

George Short is excellent to deal with and will be glad to set up an audition for you if you can get to his showroom.

Hi Steve. I think the Rhythm is "free field," which means it wants a good bit of space, unlike NC's "near wall specific" designs like the Big Kat. As Tobias says, George is easy to deal with; give him a shout. I think he's located in upstate New York; he might have a customer close to you, as well. I'm guessing cabinet work by Lee Taylor (with custom veneer from Certainly Wood) would add 1000-1500 to the kit price; this would result in stunning visuals.

Just to thicken the mix, a couple of other people who do very musical speakers in the North Creek vein are Rick at Selah and Fritz at Fritz Speakers.

Keep us posted! John

I second George at North Creek as a great person to deal with. I own the Manifest speaker kit and love it a giant killer. I would call or email him and see what he has he may be able to put something together for you . I know Lee Taylor makes great cabinets but I was able to find a local woodworker to make mine with North Creek's plans they came out great . I would also echo what the others said his products are great but there are other kits out there that also look to be giant killers .

The crossovers are complete overkill built with multiple cascaded caps and up to 8ga coils. If the cabinets are made to Northcreek specs you would be hard pressed to find a better cabinet made out of conventional materials, extremely non resonant. George has been great to deal with and I would seriously consider buying another pair if I needed more speakers but l already own the Rhythm Unlimiteds and Kitty Kats
