This is brilliant. You're a very good writer I posted this on another forum, I hope you don't mind. And I hope everything works out well for you in the end. My woodworking skills are nonexistent, so this is definitely food for thought
I'm surprised that Rives didn't have more practical/buildable ideas.
Wow, that story is just ... amazing. I think I would have given up around the point of the plywood steaming/bending.
I met some of the guys from Rives down at the HE Show in NY a couple of months ago. They seemed likd good guys, but I did wonder what it would be like to actually get those plans built. (They mentioned that they're starting a list of contractors who are familiar with the sorts of issues audiophiles worry about ... sounds like a pretty necessary idea)
The title is appropriate - It sounds like a GC from Hell!!! Obviously you had a heck of a lot more money than I have, so mine was finished quickly. So tell us all, how long will it be before you have a finished product?
...I have come to accept that it is you/us (the 'Audiophilia') that is from the different planet... and the folks from Lumberon, Contractua, and Electroland are indeed the indigenous ones. We are stifled by their closed-mindedness but we press on. ...
The speed of sound would be shown to be vary, depending on how "fast" or "slow" the bass is...
Hmmm...if "audiophiles" were in charge...
