Strange silence on the recent DK Design review considering all the comments previously about this integrated.

Yo Jimmy Olson - you need to read the review my friend. From a world beater to something apparently barely managing to stay up with a $1500 piece, and it's setting standards?

Standards for what? Number of models released in 18 months. We're up to what, 4 models now. Great for resale eh?

Stndard setter - right. Another newbie out of the closet to wax eloquent about DK - even those that got all gooey about the thing last year have already sold them - you're a bit behind the power curve already my friend.

Danny - that you?
Where's Audioaril when you need him? From the "best in the world" to discontinued with only one pair made. Maybe he should buy them?

February 1, 2007 - LSA10 (DK F7-XDream) Speaker Project Discontinued

When LSA Group acquired DK Design Group in 2005, one prototype speaker cabinet was designated as DK’s top-end model, proposed to retail for $17,000. The 300 lb. cabinets were machined from aluminum, acoustically inert and radical in styling. LSA developed a sophisticated crossover network and exhaustively tested the unit, resulting in excellent sound performance.

This model, with its contemporary styling, garnered much attention around the industry and we continue to receive inquiries as to the status of the project.

In the meantime, we determined that rising costs of aluminum, machining and transportation of this model would result in an estimated price to the consumer of $80,000 - far in excess of the original target price.

We have decided that discontinuing this project is the best course of action
