Hey Dan...

[trifle]

sorry if you've already said before, but when will the comp set be out? i'm ready to order a set now and am probably going with some cdt hd's unless you can give me enough good news to persuade me otherwise...

[syntekz]

Yeah I'm ready to see what these things are made of.

[Krelkor]

Just finishing up the packaging right now... The midwoofers are done, the tweeters are done, the XO is done (and entering production). So it's all looking good right now!

Details on the midwoofer will come out in the first half of September; expect the sets to be ready around mid October.

Well, you probably know my answer... Wait for our components. These were designed to compete with Dynaudio, Focal, Rainbow Pro, Morels, etc. But at a price point (under $350) that most people can afford.

Our mibass is a custom semi-exponential poly cone, inverted roll rubber surround, and an extremely linear motor and suspension (7mm of one-way linear excursion). FLAT frequency response: +/- 1.5 dB from 100 Hz to 5 kHz.

Tweeter is a custom 2 layer ring dome, with an extremely flat off-axis response. It's a polyamide base with a vapor-deposited aluminum layer on it. Ferrite magnet, surface or flush mountable, VERY smooth and detailed sounding.

Crossover is (of course) full custom. And we're using polypropylene caps (not the standard mylar or electrolytic units found in other XOs) and all air core inductors. It is a 4th order Linkwitz Riley crossover design.

Overall, the system is extremely flat and neutral; in-car measurements show the unit to be +/- 2.5 dB from 70 Hz to 20 kHz, when the speakers are mounted in the typical low door/kickpanel location and the response is measured at the drivers head-rest. True 4 Ohm impedance, good power handling (150W RMS).

Anyway, that's just some of my thoughts on the units! We're still shooting for a September release of the components, so the end is not too far off!
