I am excited to audit this speaker and talk to him at Axpona in a couple of weeks.

Field coils in a true sense need to be blogged in with a transformer   To amplify the field coils , I owned Voxativ , I would guess around $10 k  if he wants to be fair

the drivers are made in China , which  they now have good engineering in mfg ,

I just hope Andrew puts European  Xover parts, China is lacking in That dept

being a Brit clarity Cmr caps would be perfect , 

I have been  doing this for 25  years it is the soul or ♥️ of all loudspeakers !

I've heard, and liked, many field coil speaker systems and individual drivers.  I do hope these speakers are not too expensive, but, the price of other field coil speakers make it unlikely that they would be affordable to most people.

The terrific sounding Songer Audio systems with a full range field coil driver costs around $45k for a pair, the cheapest Audio Note field coil speaker is $65k.  Drivers from Voxativ range from around $14k to $70k per pair, Feastrix from $6k to $40k per pair and G.I.P. from $20k to who knows what (their best tweeter is $60k per pair).  There is also the cost of the power supplies for the drivers.

The overall appearance seems lifted from the MOFI designs which a few I've heard and was impressed.
