Go to page 30 of Lou's report and look for yourself. Voxativ are another company that come to mind. Check out who makes their cabinets.Or perhaps you believe all of these companies have the ability to manufacture the cabinetry all by themselves and are large corps..vs garage enterprises ( which is what most of them are). BTW, even Evolution Acoustics have their cabinets made here in San Diego by a cabinet maker. (Those that aren't made in China that is).
Please do call me to task again....Mr. Doubting Thomas.

I'm sorry but it seemed to me you were saying cabinet makers were moonlighting as speaker manufacturers. That's different than saying speaker companies have their enclosures made by woodworkers. But I might add an increasing number of top speaker manufacturers are using exotic materials eg. YG/Magico/Wilson/Estelon/Focal/Rockport/Polymer Research/Marten/Zellatron/Raidho, etc.
What does intelligent class A mean? Class A for a certain amount of watts then back to class AB when the going gets tough?
How many watts in class A? I could not find it in the documention.
They were playing Pictures at an Exhibition when I heard it and it sounded beautiful. The soundstage was deep and full extending way back from the speakers with all the separate parts of the orchestra clearly delineated and in the right places. A very musical and involving sound. It has a diamond tweeter so treble was very clear with no hint of harshness. It was a realistic, well resolved and natural sound with none of the artificiality that seems to come with some of the other high systems I heard.
The exhibitors had to switch off and unplug all their equipment at the end of each day so none of them were properly warmed up and they will obviously sound even better when played without that handicap.
Yes, the quantity and quality of the pictures is amazing. I do not know how Leo manages to get the adequate lighting almost every time - difficult rooms that look dark and fuzzy in other reports look fine in his site. Does any one know what camera he is using?
Thanks, Barry2013...great feedback. Look forward to speaking with the guys at Kog Audio (distributors) when they are back.
I'm sure it's a pro body Nikon or Canon with a fast lense...say f/2.8 along with using a hi iso setting such as iso 800 or even 1600. You can get away w/o a flash shooting that way.
He was shooting using flash ... at lest on some ocasions. You can see the shades on some images.
You definately need a low f lenses + a camera with good sensor. The closeup of the Vox Olimpian logo I posted earlier, was also made in poor light conditions, with no flash or tripod (Sony RX-1 compact camera; full frame sensor and f/2.0 lenses).
That means absolutely nothing! In this case "Class A" could mean anything but what it's supposed to be, used for marketing purposes only.
I also think some has to do with the software used to reduce the resolution of the picture so as to show on the web. I find a real wide variation in quality.
That's exactly what it sounded like which is why I called him out and asked for the list of companies who are primarily furniture manufacturers.
