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


It appears Andrew Jones has started his own company, "Jones & Cerreta" and will be showcasing a new speaker with a field coil concentric driver at Axpona.

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

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.

The mofi speakers are affordable and get mixed reviews. Hifi prices have gone beyond stupidly expensive and while TAD are fun to dream of owning how many of us can seriously consider owning them. Covid money's dried up and many of us are back in reality.
