The SAE you are mentioning from China is another brand using SAE Scientific Audio Electronics Name. it is not the same company. They have forums about those issues and the confusion of them using the true brand name of SAE. They don't sale anything in Hifi for $24,000 under their name SAE in China. Do the research before the post... it saves time and miss understanding.

Good Day and Peace To All

@blackbird55 First I've heard of this. No need to tell me how I should do research or post! If what you say is true its an obvious mistake. How many times have you seen audio companies with the exact same name? Maybe keep your opinions about how other people post to yourself! I was asking the OBVIOUS question!

If your referring to the cone speakers Dahlquist made at one time, in the past, they sold their design, German Physiks purchased all rights to that cone design and made improvements, which I own a pair of, wonderful speaker, I believe Dahlquist only makes wall speakers, and sub-woofers these days

SAE was a good company from, I think from California, I still have a tuner from SAE, which I no longer use, and has been out of business for a long time

krell was down, regarding business for a while, trying to make a come back, I have several models which I no longer use, due to needing service, not sure if they will service the old units, I know George Mayer will service just about any high end audio products, out of California 

 

The SAE 2HPD did not get a very good review when it first came out.  It is not even close to the old SAE, James Borgiano Head designer in the old days is gone as are the other names that I have already forgotten.
