jwes,
I don't know, as I have followed years of postings on various business issues the poor guy has been subjected to. Hopefully Aether will show up and he'll do speakers!
Thanks my friend... you have no idea what it's taken to keep me from throwing in the towel. But... I & Aether Audio are now here for you guys once again. Basically, I decided to stop taking orders for the first 6 months or so of this year so we could get caught up on old orders and straighten the mess out. As a result, I'm fully in charge of things now and you can be darn sure Aether Audio will never get into the mess SP Tech did.
Just in case anybody is interested, from here on out for a few months, when I quote lead times they're gonna be longer than in the past - that way I've covered my butt and nobody gets discouraged. You wanna buy and wait a bit? Cool. If not, I understand as everybody has to go with what works for them. Either way we're in good shape now as the financial situation no longer depends on the production levels that SP Tech did.
Anyway... you'll see when the new website is up. In the mean time, I highly suggest that anybody interested in this pair of Minis... to snag them up ASAP. The one price increase that Aether Audio is forced to make is on them... they're going up $500.00 and that's just the way it has to be. On top of that, the new $2995.00 price is based on a satin painted (pigmented) finish. If you want hardwood as these puppies that are being offered, expect to ante up another $500.00 if you order new ones from us.
Again, I make no apologies as the Minis blow away numerous other products at several times their new price... and I learned the hard way - if we don't make money then we can't keep building speakers.
So... some lucky person is gonna get one pretty good deal at the $2K price this pair is being offered at. If it were me and I was considering them... SOLD! Ha... but (someday
) I'll just build a pair for myself.
Take care,
-Bob
