It's audio speakers, not rocket science. There are almost never massive technology leaps. It isn't a fast moving technology space, to say the least. Pretty unrealistic expectation if that is what your bar is.

"It's audio speakers, not rocket science. There are almost never massive technology leaps. It isn't a fast moving technology space, to say the least. Pretty unrealistic expectation if that is what your bar is." Well said, @kren0006 |
No that is right it is not rocket science and very slow technology. But you could incorporate room calibration into the speakers and take the lead in DSP high end Path. But it is a missed opportunity.
Yeh and many do not like active and DSP in the high end market. But if they lead the way and bring the DSP into the fine room. And it is not so that they don’t know how to build amps and electronic.. they do.. maybe then they would sacrifice some amplifier sales.. but they could make a modular plate amp and made it possible to upgrade and so on. Yes missed opertunities, anyway. |
Well that same sentiment then applies to every other speaker company that released a speaker in last 10 years??? Complaint makes no sense.
Anyway, they are open to some potential criticism - e.g., price escalation when original projection was $8k, then $15k, landed at $28k; built in China when company had long prided itself on made-in-USA and perhaps most expensive speaker that is built in China, certainly most expensive speaker from US company, etc., but I wouldn’t criticize them for not including room correction - that’s kinda random.
Regardless, the most important thing is how it sounds, and does it sound better than the competition at $28k. I haven’t heard so can’t comment. Wish it would be at Axpona because since no US dealers can’t really hear it anywhere, unfortunately. It's an ambitious effort for an amp/regenerator/dac company who had never made a speaker before, so I give them credit for trying |
