In Reply to: Interesting new USA built dipole (open baffle) speakers... posted by Waxxy on August 1, 2012 at 10:27:05:
...actually I found some more info on the speakers. Steve Guttenberg wrote this about them for CNET...
"Though the panel will be available in painted finishes, the Urban Fidelity speakers will also feature art supplied by artists Liam Brazier, Craig Watkins, Herman Lee, Daniel Teixeria, Hyein Lee, Tobe Fonseca, Wojtek Polak, Maxime Archambault, and more. The speakers will be assembled in California, and the artists will be paid royalties for their work on each speaker sold.
Ray is a passionate 31-year-old audiophile, with a manufacturing background from the time he ran an automotive accessory company. The main reason he can bring out a high-end speaker that sells for $399 is Ray's speaker doesn't have a cabinet, which is usually the single most expensive part of any box speaker. Since the Urban Fidelity speaker has just one driver, it doesn't need a crossover network, and that parts saving also lowers manufacturing costs. A somewhat higher-end speaker, matching subwoofer, and power amplifier are all in the planning stages."
So for everyone who doesn't like the artsy look, it sounds like standard painted finishes will also be available. An just to be clear, I am not affiliated with the company, but I do dig the art.
Over and out.
