Just noticed this post and thought I would reply.
I have been away for a week working indirectly on behalf of the relief effort currently underway, for those whom deployment to the Gulf coast has left an understaffed situation here at home. Speaker development and audio in general has been The Last Thing on my mind lately.
I speak for Louis by saying that he is currently busy getting everything ready for the upcoming sojourn to Denver, as well as building and shipping orders for the new line of speakers we all are so excited about, in addition to the steady stream of orders for TS Series speakers. This makes Louis busy with some serious OT these days. I faxed him the other week, and he picked up the phone. This at 2300 EST, so that qualifies as a long day, without much time or inclination toward developing new speakers.
On both our behalf, we sincerely appreciate the high level of interest in the DarkStar dipole development, as evidenced by the daily trickle of PM's and emails coming in, and only ask that you be patient while all this other stuff is sorting itself out. I find the interest in the design so far as I have taken it to be very flattering, and again promise that whatever we come up with will absolutely exceed this level of sonic, will sparkle with wit and originality, Uber sonics, ValueKing status, and of course the craftsmanship that Louis is so well known for.
