ScAR/SB Acoustic, new speaker company!

[Jonasz]

Found this thread over at the Madisound forum. Apparently the design team behind Scan-Speak have developed a new series of drivers. According to David Stephens they're going to be priced at a more affordable level than the SS-drivers.

Good news! :T

More drivers for MarkK and JohnKrutke to test! Whoooo Hooooo!


Will be very interesting to see how this works out- how they position cost/performance, and what technologies they use. I hope this works out for them. It seems they're targeting DIY initially to get some word out there- I wonder what their strategies with OEM's will be, because that will determine their survival.

I think I read over at the PE board that Tymphany just bought out a large Asian manufacturer of drivers. The more the better IMO. When will Scan Speak go for some ceramic or titanium cones though?

Nice! I want to try those drivers.

Jed, I don't care what the cone material is, I just want to have the best sound .

Actually they bought a cabinet manufacturer. Looks like they will be providing OEM speakers complete with cabinets.
