What has Paul been telling the industry - this was just posted on StereoNet Australia. I know discussion of a speaker design has been ongoing but I do not recall pic’s on here? Anyway, the loudspeaker project must be gaining traction. … Here is what we have learned so far about the FR30 (list ki…

Impressive, the FR30 rounds 1 and 2 “sold out” already; I am curious to know how many are in a manufacturing run. If it’s not top-secret, I’d like to know a little bit more about what’s going on on the rear of the speaker and the crossover build.

Me too… I suspect there are a few things not quite sorted back there. Otherwise, we would have seen a few snapshots by now. :man_shrugging:

Yup, then they are sent here and we again go through them with a fine tooth comb. Same factory that makes Sonus Faber, B and W, and other high end speakers.

Sonus Faber loudspeakers are designed and built in Italy…maybe you are confused about some of their low end speakers that are made in China? [image] Sonus Faber Design Lab and Factory Tour Veneto, a region in the North of Italy—the easternmost top of the boot—is most famous for its cana…
