You have an intriguing company. You have an excellent concept, theoretically.
Still, I’m at sea about your company. You provide loudspeaker systems, which you build, or kits, correct? The cabinets of the kits must be completely built by the buyer? Or the buyer has to go out and find a carpenter who can build the cabinet to the plans? And then the buyer has to install the kit into the cabinet built either by himself or his carpenter, or someone who understands how to do it? Can one get the plans and instructions of the kit prior to buying?
I notice that no mention is made of the weight of the fully assembled units. Wouldn’t that be a large factor in shipping of a completed fully built speaker system? What about shipping weight of a kit?
Say I’m interested in the 4Pi professional bass reflex. What does the cabinet look like? I mean, really look like. How do the panels go together? How do I mount the panels? How do I mount the drivers? Can the speakers be removed for service? Do you use wood screws? Are there panels that allow disassembly? What if I want to substitute different drivers?
Do I have to purchase the plans to these “kits” and speakers before I can understand what they are really like?
Your crossovers, are they better than the company provided crossovers, viz, JBL? Have you made and published freq. runs to show how effective they are? Have you compared them to freq. runs of the company (JBL) provided crossovers? Your value added includes the crossover design and performance, right?
Oh, and the prices. I assume they are for 1 speaker system only. Stereo doubles the price, right? Is this a stupid question?
I am not a DIY person. Still, I am exploring your site on the recommendation of Bill Fitzmaurice of Audio Asylum. Thank you.
