Saw that this morning. Be cool if Ron could get those in his shed for a demo or comparison to his encores.

Surprised to see he didn't use tube connectors or NoRez.

Yeah, he had some binding posts and didn't realize that it would be giving up some performance by using them.

He specializes in making things out of concrete and not in speaker design.

Wow! +1 on getting them to Ron for a comparison. People’s creativity is awesome, it never crossed my mind! Super cool though.

Do any of you recall a speaker company called "Rauna of Sweden"? They use enclosures made of concrete and were very well reviewed but they didn't look as nice as what the guy in the video came up with but they also didn't have access to 3D printing either.

While not concrete, Roy Johnson (RIP) at the now defunct Green Mountain Audio used granite dust mixed with resin, and poured into bespoke molds. You can still find photos of his speakers online. Even his small 2-ways were extremely heavy.
