Hi Kenneth,
that's a legitimate question, and the answer is simple: our web site sucks...
I'm so freakishly busy that I just didn't have the time to upgrade anything on the site itself...
And another thing here is that originally, I was planning to make 2-3 pairs a month, Loreleis or Kismets...really have the speakers to show off our complete philosophy and signature, where the speakers fit in nicely, be it the Lor's, the Epi's IV's or the Kismets....well, the 3 pairs or so per month went bye bye a long time ago...just can't keep up with demand.....just from the 3 shows last year we ended up with a net 22 pairs. That takes quite some time away from making amps, believe me, and additional, the speakers are a near give-away for the customers at this price point....
yes, they are flat out awesome...yes, the Scan Beryllium is fantastic, and the best driver I have ever heard and worked with, and yes, most speakers go with complete systems, so the bottom line is that it is all good......and even though these are floor standers, it is still the monitor as indicated on our site, just with extended cabinets instead of stands....is it better ??? depends. The nice thing is that the x-over is in the open bottom part of the speaker and doesn't take interior volume away.
Just listened for a couple of hours and went back and forth from the Kismets to the Egglestone's.....man oh man, the K's really should be in the $ 12,000 + range for sure....hey, that's an idea. back to 2-3 pairs and actually make some $, hehehehehe
