How would you get into the biz?

I'm really NOT soliciting here.

I'm just thinking about how VERY difficult the high end speaker business is. It is the electronic equivalent of opening up your own restaurant. Very hard, laborious, risky, and full of nefarious types. Kind of like the concrete business. :)

What do you think are the best and worst ways?

Best,

Best way - get an engineering degree and take 2 years (classical wave theory) of physics major physics; then take some acoustics courses.  Be sure to add classes in biology and psychoacoustics while reading everything Floyd Toole ever wrote in your 'spare" time.
Follow up with some time at the Oxford sensory perception lab, visit the top Brit-Fi manfs., for an internship, then intern at Magneplanar, Vandersteen and Revel.

Worst way - get a liberal arts degree, wave your hands and focus on woo-woo

Wurst way - visit Germany

I'm still not understanding your approach.  Do you mean you want to start a speaker business as the owner and hire others to design the speakers?

If so, you should start with a large fortune, then move to China - near their best engineering school.

Eventually, you will end up with a small fortune.

Eric, I see the real problem as the large number of other co.s with significant engineering talent and other resources already occupying the space.

maybe local boutique type market?
