Layers on the BS doesn't he?
It's been used before. Essentially just paper.

I love the premise "i've heard them all and these are the best, so i'm selling them".
Same premise with gold sales. Whenever the economy goes in the tank all the commercials for gold start up again saying the price is going to go through the roof and it's the best investment on the planet. If it was such a good investment, why are you selling it?Quote:

They remind me a bit of the Korean Hanji paper used to make woofer cones.

Check out their 15 inch extended range driver. The cone is cellulose and balsa wood with a leather surround, and it has a sorta familiar looking phenolic spider. http://itishifi.blogspot.com/2010/12/atelier-rullit-projects.html
couldnt help that one. :) they probobly sound really good. but i can't see 6000$ really good.Quote:

OTOH, you can just get a proper pair of 288's and have about 99% of what the TAD's offer, and a whole lotta change left over, and no danger of Beryllium poisoning.:D
the difference here may be that he builds/rebuilds these for sale.Quote:

The 288G has been referred to as "poor man's TAD' on multiple occasions. But at say 1200 for a super clean pair vs the price of the TADs it's a no brainer for me...Quote:
