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.

The  speaker will be engineered in Europe built in China with tight QC 

or Indonesia to keep costs down around $10k   Would  be fair

If the price looks relatively affordable on his drivers,  average audiophiles may come to their senses on how insanely bloated the price of field coil drivers have been with some players out there (vulture price)..A field coil driver is not some magic ball driver... permanent magnet vs electromagnet essentially.

These look very interesting. Not completely unlike the Genelec 8380A's (though with a permanent magnet coaxial driver) that I heard a few weeks ago - they really got my attention. 

I am absolutely looking forward to hearing them. A legend in speaker design development. 

While I am interested in hear his new speakers, I really wonder why AJ would choose to use 1920’s tech in a 2020’s speaker and don’t field coil speakers have to be plugged into the wall?
