New Speaker Manufacturer Intro

Greetings ’Goners -

Wanted to take a moment to introduce ourselves - and of course shamelessly plug our offerings - to the Audiogon community.

Ostinato Speakers is a small startup based in Denver, CO. We are dedicated to bringing high-end sound at more affordable pricing. We have partnered with a known designer who is already loved in the DIY world.

We believe in a simple recipe:

  • Non-resonant, heavy cabinets finished with real wood
  • Investments focused on quality components
  • Semi-custom: choice of finish, cabling connectors and cross-over upgrade options
  • Hand assembled
  • Direct to customer model (15-day money back guarantee)
  • Pricing as low as we can make it

Currently offering a 2-way Desktop, 3-way Monitor and home theater Center. The Monitor is our current crown jewel: ribbon tweeter, open back mid-range, and switchable crossover depending upon room placement.


Cheers!

JB

Good luck, they look really nice.   One thing that would be a turn off to me is a 3 year Warranty on a Loudspeaker.   As I look at my rack I take note that my amps (tube) , preamp (tube) , headphone amp (tube) all have or had 3 year warranty when new.  DAC, 5 years...   so someone like me who views the warranty as a value added convenience places a high value on the warranty.   

Not trying to be an ass, but every speaker I have ever owned in the past 40 plus years has been at least 5 years,  Kef, Paradigm, Revel, PSB, ....  Bose, Polk,  and many other entry level brands are....   PMC 20 years , Klipsch Heritage 10 years..   Niles ?  LIFETIME  ....

Its a huge part of the total package on a big ticket item like a reference quality speaker.... these are $2300 and $4200 ?     I would love to hear them , but even if I walked away impressed I dont think I could lay out that kind of cash and only get 3 years peace of mind.... thats what a warranty is, peace of mind for the consumer and the confidence in your product that you back it for what is almost ubiquitous in the loudspeaker world.
