Why aluminium and paper
Engineering
A speaker you can still fix in 2036.
Most consumer audio is designed to be sealed and replaced. Ours is designed to be opened: four screws, a printed schematic in the box, and every part available from us for at least a decade.
Housings are milled from a single aluminium billet because resonance lives in joints. Drivers use paper cones because paper is light, damped, and has been the right answer for sixty years.
Nothing is tuned by ear alone. Every batch is measured in an anechoic chamber against a reference pair kept from the first run, and the response curve ships with the unit.

Principles
Three rules we do not bend
02
Honest specs
The numbers on the box are measured from the unit you receive, not a golden sample.
03
Small batches
We build sixty at a time so that every one passes the same pair of hands.
