The "real story" is this gentleman is an absolutely wonderful client! The order came in as a standard 7-10 day painted finish. Within a few days, he requested his speakers be upgraded to a high-end finish. We offer Ferrari, Lamborgini, Maserati, etc... matched colors; this client chose to take advantage of this. Understand this changes things for me just a bit since I personally paint, cut, buff, and polish all of the speakers ordered like this; I am also the president and CEO of a small company. This type of finish is very labor intensive and does take some time to produce all - it's well worth the wait. I have clients tell me all the time to take as much time as I need and I was under the assumption this client was in no rush for delivery. Everything is resolved and we're finishing his speakers up now.
