@smodtactical are you referring to Troel's version of this kit? If so, you can be rest assured it will sound phenomenal.  While I've designed and built my own speakers in hobby form over 45 hears, and a professional builder prior in my younger years, he takes all things to an entirely different level. Truly enjoy looking over all of his creations fwiw. This particular speaker design is pretty neat, with drool factor  👍

"The poor speaker companies. They must be doing all that work for no profit. Perhaps they should increase their prices so that the poor workers can afford to put food on the table?"

If anyone here believes there is a notable profit to be made in speaker manufacturing, or believe staying in business is easy living among groups of some online forum posters who parrot mis-information, think again. Best to stop here and think.

It’s’ a labor of love, and not easy. Some of these smaller businesses can help put some people to work, paychecks hopefully get generated for employees, as long as outside people are not badmouthing and unknowingly sabotaging a company, only then they might have a chance to stay in business. A dicey balancing act.

I too have a great deal of respect for those who can make it work in today’s business. Would be nice to see folks help promote more positive points. We are very lucky to have the remaining manufacturers and choices we do today.

Please don’t ruin it. Go visit a few factories in person and learn more before posting nonsense about what they should or should not be doing. Talk is cheap and can be very damaging to companies who are simply trying to offer something to us.

 

 

 

 

 

@kenjit Much of it is being made in chinese factories thesedays so the excuses about factory and labor costs are simply not true.

 

Sure, for those products made and manufactured in China, that’s great.

And, for the handful made in the USA, it’s best to go visit the factories in person and see first hand. DIY designed and built my main audio speakers. And, worked and built speakers ground up in a factory right here in the good old USA.

How about you?
