Without even $40,000, do you expect to do research to see what sounds the best, design and make drivers, cabinets, and crossovers, then buy equipment to test, are you really wanting us to choose between things we will ever hear in advance?
Thoughts wanted for new speaker design
I am working to introduce a new speaker at Capital Audiofest this year and have a few tentative designs but wanted to do a little market research and see what you guys would find most interesting. Since I don’t have $40K for focus groups, thought I would ask your guys POV.
I currently offer two stand mounts - one which is a fiberglass based composite (Nightshade) and the other is Carbon Fiber bases (Blackthorn).
you can see them here at:
www.verdantaudio.com
i am currently sold out but will be back in stock in about two weeks.
i am looking to see what you guys would be most interested in:
1. a higher efficiency standmount - 92dB to 93dB but will be using compression drivers. Material could be MDF or Bamboo but most like Bamboo. Price ~$2500
2. A less expensive standmount made from bamboo or MDF that will be ~$2000. Likely be less than $2000 if it is MDF.
3. A Nightshade (fiberglass) Floorstander that would retail at $8-$10,000.
4. A floorstander that would look like 1 or 2 though I expect the efficiency of 1 will be closer to 100dB. Retail $3500 to $5000.
Unless you guys saw me at AXPONA or know someone who bought my first batch of speakers I know you haven’t heard my current stand-mounts. Just looking for a POV on what will be most interesting to you.
Thanks in advance.
