Hmmm perhaps another trip up to MI will be required

Jim, any chance you'll have a pair of the "Heil Heavens" available to listen to? I've liked the sound of the Heils and am interested to hear what you've done with them.

Not at this time. The Heils are a special breed of speaker with slightly less mass appeal. So we normally only build these on request.

emac,

There sure seems to be a lot of pin action about the Heil lately, and even though we won't have these for you to hear, we would love to have you over on Saturday. And Kinger too!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to stop by our facility yesterday. It was great to see our hard-working team get to demonstrate their expertise and spend a little time in the spotlight. Hopefully everyone had a good time and gained a little insight into the effort involved in bringing speakers to life.

Thanks for the great time.

I had a blast. It was kinda weird seeing everyone all dressed up and not covered in sawdust!! Place was spotless clean. Great turnout. Mary had the new paint in the shipping department and all decorated nice.

How about some pics?

The listening area was in the cleared out shipping department:

L-R: Songtowers on steroids, Songtowers w/Raal, SongBirds.

Another new little gem. The number of folks who looked to see if a subwoofer was playing really made me chuckle. Awesome little speaker and I mean awesome.

Grumpy, your AKFest organizer says: Looks like a speaker factory!!

Care to elaborate on the "Songtower on steroids" ?

A brand new, first time played, set of SoundScape12's headed to San Francisco. We crossed our fingers and they worked right out of the box. Impressed everyone. People couldn't believe that you could get that much bass with speakers out into the middle of the room. These go deeeeeeeeep!!!

Lucky bastard!!
