    Scan-Speak factory

    Here's an interesting visit to the Scan-Speak factory in Denmark. It's very nice to see that all their drivers (even the cheaper Discovery series) are still handmade. Sorry it's only in danish (I can only understand maybe half of it :B ) but the pics are still interesting IMHO. :P

        Thanks for the video link!

        Not having captions for the dialogue let me focus on how the people/language sounded. Fascinating

          It's nice to see that they measure each drivers FR, impedance and what looks like distortion performance before allowing them to be shipped. But then scan speaks quality control has always been top notch

              Awesome video! Can see why Scan-Speak are one of the top quality manufacturers. Would be great to see subtitles on this though

                Notice how women are doing all the assemble. Men have no dexterity and very little patience. Thanks for sharing that.

                  I noticed that too and was curious. Maybe I should get my wife to help me build my speakers, impart some of that ScanSpeak goodness. Does she have to be Danish for it to work?

                      I have great dexterity and decent patience when working on something I want to turn out well.

                        Think that is the "guy thing" about being single minded on the task at hand :T

                        But try doing it repeatedly, every day, and being able to discuss everything under the sun at the same time and it usually becomes a different story

                        I used to manage a couple of electronics manufacturing lines. About 70 workers. Always regretted the couple of males that previous managers had employed. They were always the weak link. ops:

                          I noticed they had a foosball table in the engineering area. It was a wonderfully clean and pleasant manufacturing area. Every person had a lot of room to work and nobody was looking of the shoulder of anyone else. It looked like they put some serious thought and effort into creating a repeatable process for many different drivers. Probably a real nice place to work.

                          Interesting how the stiffening ribs and cone coatings were applied by hand.

                            Did you notice the ad for the Bliv Medlem AF Plus?
                            I bet that thing ROCKS!
                            Whatever the heck it is.

                            Cool video, though.

                              Amused To Death? What a title. I was browsing Best Buy yesterday and picked up this very interesting CD from Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame. If you are a fan of The Wall you'll like this disc, too.

                              I thought we should start a list of fetures we would like to see in a Rotel BD player. Hopefully Rotel will look and listen since we are their biggest fans. Ill update this list with other suggestions to make it nice and neat.

                              Lets start a list of what you hope to have in a BD player....

                              Hi,

                              I'm having trouble deciding on my new floorstanding front speakers.

                              Option 1:

                              Focal Utopia Be Alto Clone



                              Focal Audiom TD5
                              Focal 6WM
                              Focal 11WX

                              Option 2:

                              Wilson WATT Puppy 8 Clone...

                              Hi everyone,

                              I’ve updated the Sequence Two – Monitor design with a ScanSpeak “Beryllium” tweeter version for those who wants a super expensive and exotic hard dome version! :W

                              Basically it’s the same design, but with minor tweaks made to the cross-over. The ScanSpeak...
