Thank you all, so much for the support.
Having worked as a dealer for 12 years, then as Director of Sales for THIEL Audio, then President Emeritus, (meaning an unpaid consulting position) for Von Schweikert Audio, I have a good background.
Audio is a hard business, and the customers are very demanding, as they should be for the prices we ask.
That damn F 7 costs us a fortune to construct, given the complexity of the CNC work.
It is a new generation of product, bypassing the typical MDF (medium density fiberboard construct) and utilizing an aluminum outer body, which costs us more than most speakers cost to make, just in labor for the aluminum.
They are as good as advertised, and underpriced, as it relates to retail versus cost to make.
We wanted to make a statement. Everyone, including Wilson is using MDF, and why not, is that mdf is cheap. This is a new wave of product that will take us to the next step in design.
We need to think of how to make construct cheaper, so we can all enjoy the benefits of the improvements that plate aluminum can make in the cabinet. Hey we're audio groupies too, and want better sound just like all of you.
The whole problem is 'how'to do it so we can all benefit.
Please support our hard work and know that experienced audio people are working hard to make products that are better, as well as, cheaper.
If you doubt that just look at our square wave output on the Austrailian Hifi magazine. Our Square wave is really perfect at the 1Khz output. Not even the vaunted Halcro can do this, at multiples of this price.
All things being equal, measurements are one important key.
Best,
Your Audio Friend,
Larry R. Staples
President DK/LSA Group
