Metal cabinet speakers


I like the idea of a very strong inert metal cabinet. Besides Magico, Steinheim and T+A.. who else makes metal cabinet speakers?

Can I sell you a CD Re-animator? Or maybe some Dark Matter Optical Treatment. I thought you had something to do with AudioMachina. I had never heard of them. So, now I won't offend anyone??? Running a 3 inch driver full range is almost the silliest thing I have ever seen even if they are forming a line array. This is Pipe Dreams meets Bose. Sort of like crossing a rhino with a giraffe. Their horizontal dispersion above 8 kHz will be offal (intentional))) and everything will be Doppler distorted from the bass. Even if you crossed to subs the high frequency dispersion will be so bad that the listening position will be limited to exactly the spot where the beams cross. 
Judging by the lengths they went to to make this speaker it must cost a fortune. Either a SoundLabs or Magnepan 20 or 30 series speaker is going to out perform these things for probably much less money. I don't want to jinx anyone but I doubt these guys will be around long.

>>>>>If you’re referring to Audio Machina they were founded in 2000.
TAG McLaren Calliopes are made of aluminum alloy and they pre-dated Krells’ LAT Series by several years. I think they were really onto something but it was all for naught. I have a pair of Calliopes and I feel fortunate to own them; probably one of several dozen pairs that were sold in North America before TAG went belly-up. They don’t do deep bass but they are superb in every other aspect.
Geoffkait, when was Klipsch founded. I do not know the History of Audio Machina as to when they first released their product but unless they come up with some low end products that regular folks will like they will be history just like Nearfield Acoustics. If I suggest a linear array speaker I will go with ESLs or ribbons. Maggie 20.1s out performed the Pipe Dreams in every way except volume and the same is true with these Audio Machina things. The Maggie ribbon tweeter is the best tweeter made even better than ESLs due to its wonderful dispersion characteristics. If you look at the physics stacking dynamic drivers is a silly endeavor. There is no driver narrow enough to work. A dome works fine as a point source. Maggie's ribbon tweeter is 1/4" wide and radiates over 100% of its surface area. It is also long enough to function as a linear array over its entire frequency range. Perfect. The only sad part is the woofer is not...long enough. Because the speaker is a bit over 6 feet tall it functions as a line source down to somewhere between 150 and 200 Hz. The best way to deal with this is to make the speaker 7'10" tall so that it abuts an 8 foot ceiling. Then it will be a line source down to 1 Hz. Magnepan thought about doing this but they thought it would decrease their Market I guess because it would make the speaker more expensive. Good magnets are not cheap. Pity. Subwoofer systems just do not function well up at 200 Hz. So, when I set up Maggies I keep the subs point source and jamb them into the corners. I cross at 100 Hz. I guess I am rambling.
