Re: have you heard the RM40's?

Sorry I have to pull you up short here.

I like Albert and respect his stuff; it is very good cone dynamic design. He doesn't begin to spend the money on hardware we do. There are $1200 worth of hand-peeled TRT caps in each pair of $5800pr RM 40's. Ask Albert how much his entire xover costs even on his biggest, most expensive and elaborate system. Want dueling bills-of-materials at 2 paces, I'm game. As for aerogel drivers, they have 15 times the moving mass of our mid ribbons, with all the inertia and energy storage that entails. Every part in an RM 40 is executed at the highest quality level, with tolerances much better than the industry norm 5%, 2% or even 1%.

I hate venting like this but don't indulge in such categorial statements without all facts at hand. Speaker design at the highest quality level is complex and difficult and includes factors you ignore, but with parts quality I routinely go way overboard. Guess I need a cost accountant to reign me in; think I'll ask to borrow the Wilsons'.

Big B
