November 1st 2007. We saw
the first cutting of the production maple components.


Just look at those stacks of high precision slabs just waiting for
their turn in the NC mill. The 1.75 inch slabs are constructed of edge
laminated furniture grade clear hard rock maple, fully cured and
stabilized, then edge bonded, and final-milled to precise thickness and
flatness. In the views above you will see the fabulously accurate NC
multi-head mill at work, cutting the first pieces. Jennifer, in the red
sweater, protects her hearing as Milling proceeds... you can see her
below testing the fit of one of the Thiele and Partner ceramic drivers,
albeit one that has not yet undergone the 5 to 6 hour modification
process that the finished speaker system will use, and as some of you
have heard in the prototype test cabinets.

Ribbon tweeter fit test.
No
garage hack, sloppy tablesaw-handrouter buildup for this production
speaker project....We are making full use of this multi-million dollar
facility to ensure accuracy, repeatability, finish
consistency and ultimate quality control...

We
are picking up the speaker cabinets with our project Wagoneer ( a
useful restoration project of a 1978 Cherokee Chief ) and preparing to
take the speakers back to our facility to complete.
