Andrew Jones - New Company, New Speaker - Field Coil Concentric

Show off!

Just kidding.   He is the man.   Field coil is a logical next step for him.  Starting a company?   Good luck with that!

Interesting.  Hopefully his speaker company is better run and sticks around longer than Clayton Shaw’s. 🙄  Low bar there. 

They have decided to name the model:

BABS...Big Ass Bookshelf Speaker

From a 'rigidity' perspective, maybe you're thinking what i'm thinking... I don't think a driver exists until now at any price, where part of the radiating surface didn't get out of phase and smeared things out...Maybe, he was able to model/ optimize something with the field coil...

Since i am officially retired now with a lotta time in my hands, I am planning to take a relaxed li'l road trip, not fly this time.

I hope this remains a lower volume manufacturer direct item.....for many a reason..

Absolutely love my small TAD hopefully he remembers driver rigidity is more important than the motor… anxious to hear your thoughts as I can’t do the show. Wishing him all the best as more than a great hired gun !!

thanks for sharing 

There are very pistonic drivers and German laser tools to measure cone movement vs input signal and output a very visual indication of that … my point is while I am hopeful duplicating the imo stellar Sonics of the Jones designed but made in Japan magic concentric driver will be no mean feat.., 

it looks like the two brothers / partners are interesting cats - I’m hopeful
