I drove to their new warehouse yesterday, and spoke with Santi. The warehouse is in Norco, Ca. Shipping from OKC was killing them. Now they ship directly from Ontario Intl to cut costs. New speakers are mfg in El Paso. Repairs will be done in Norco after they get set up. Bill will build just tweeters. European customers will be repaired in Spain. There will also be repairs done in Tokyo for Japanese consumers.

Thanks for the info ! What happened to all the tooling Bill had to make diaphragms ? Is Bill still doing those or are they making them in California at Norco ? I'm still a bit confused of what they are doing. Thanks !

Norco is warehouse and repairs only. He had a case of diaphragms there. I imagine El Paso is where they are made, but that is a guess.
