Expected PriceAluminum Weight: ~$269Brass Weight: ~$399Big news! We just found the way to reduce the cost of the board itself, special thanks to everyone! We planned to run the unlimited group buy with Absolute65 with various color options, so you can mix and match your style, hope you guys enjoy it! However, at this price we still restraint our margin as same as before, about 10% (https://i.imgur.com/nqT8w6I.png)

There won't be the case foam / PE Foam / Plate foam in the kit. We designed the board the way that it doesn't really need any foam to enhance the acoustic. We make sure that the sound is sharp, full, and on the louder side to make sure that even the Hyperglide Blacks are still have the sharp, well-pronounced, and full spectrum of sound. But if you guys want to the foam in the kit, don't forget to suggest those feedback in IC form.

Hi there, thank you for your clarification, these are the price for approximately 800 units, we decided that we will balanced the price and lead time so the price is not to high and lead time is not too long. But if the unit are exceeded, the kit will be cheaper, but I would really love to hear from your suggestion. Please feel free to comment or suggest the solution in IC form. Thank you so much.
