>>But I'm curious as to your design philosophies.

== I enjoy exploring the Japanese aesthetic. I apprecnticed in woodworking to a Chinese master when I was 18 making bank and office interiors. This led to a sensitivity of Asian values. Shoji making and Japanese tools are favorite past studies.

As far as speakers go I adhere to Japanese design goals. Most Japanese understand very well the analog music reprduction system. "The energy relesaed when the needle touchs the record releases an explosion of energy" I once read. "maintaining the energy's momentum and brilliance" is the goal I work for. The single driver and SET thing brings it close.

Also working on a large fully hornloaded system for "show" not as a product. Each basshorn is the size of a small baby grand piano. Just to s what the fuss about front horns is all about.
