IMO, Ryan has one of the smallest egos of the speaker designers. He is not afraid to listen and make improvements. He also leverages others, realizing that he is not an expert in every area, such as speaker cables. He did not hesitate to try new inductors in the crossovers when I suggested them.
Like most successful enterprises, this has obviously been an evolutionary process for him and did not happen overnight. The important thing is that he has the ingredients for success: experience, know-how, perseverance, a good eye for design and a good ear. His speakers have blown me away from the very first listen to a Cirrus.
I bought a pair of Nimbus white myself.
