It's far more difficult to be a complete manufacturer competing with the big boys and having to absorb overheads in terms of marketing, exposure, reviews etc. The kit market has a strong following with loyal followers far more interested in trying different things. regards, Frank. |

Gold Member Username: Timn8terSeattle, WA USA Post Number: 1171 Registered: Dec-03 | Yeah, that was a tough decision. I would like to emphasize that the business is still open and observing warranties, just not producing finished speaker systems. Right now I'm working on a custom two-way design for a local customer and a custom subwoofer design for another. I will slowly begin offering plans and kits throughout the year. Some think this is bad news while many others see this as good news and that depends on what part of the audio market you frequent. |
