Has anyone ever heard of these?

The speakers cost $950 brand new. The asking price is $400 lower. I'm guessing they're in the Fostex ballpark. May be worth the asking price if you are delighted by the sound.

I read a story about this guy. Apparently, he was homeless, but had worked/designed speakers since high school. Came up with this design. He was looking for investors, none came forth. Now, he's managed to create a web site, and actually has some sort of store in Grand Island, Nebraska. Interesting read!

I had a pair a few years back, partnered with one of those Red Wine Audio Signature Class D amps...It was nice, but I grew tired of it and sold it. The proceeds funded the purchase of some nice vintage gear which I liked MUCH better.

I thought the cabinet work was particularly beautiful and that drew me in initially.
