We are a high-end speaker manufacturer who has proven that price does not equate to quality in the home audio industry. Yes, there are certainly very good speakers that are expensive. But that doesn’t mean all very good speakers have to be expensive. Distributor and retail markups eat up way too much of the price that you pay in most stores. There are many designer systems, the names of which you are very familiar, that are made from speaker components that cost less than 10% of their selling price of several thousand dollars. There are even more systems that fall within a slightly lower price range that are made out of components that cost only a few dollars. From the beginning, it has been our intention to turn this practice upside down, and to deliver speaker systems with the finest quality components, an attractive, upscale design and an affordable price. The only way to to accomplish all of this was to be different from the other players in the industry, make our speakers in the United States, and to sell them to our clients directly to avoid substantial (and totally unnecessary) markups.
