Okay guys here is the outcome of a deal that went down at RMAF concerning these speakers.
The speakers were heard by a good friend of mine that is big in the audio industry. He was formally the director of sales for an award winning speaker company. He also, at one time owned one of the largest high end stores in the country, and is connected to everyone in the industry from manufactures to store owners. He's well known and liked.
He was really impressed with these speakers, and he made me a proposal that I really couldn't refuse.
Here is basically the deal.
I new company is being formed marketing a full line of these speakers. The largest of the models being the one pictured and seen at the show. No name yet, but considering some of the ones already suggested.
A smaller model will use the same center MTM section in an open baffle but only two woofers below in a ported enclosure (not four) and without the powered woofer on the side.
A matching center channel on its side and stand mounted (for optimal height for below projector screens) will also be made. Again the two mid-woofers will be in the open baffle but the pair of ported woofers handling the bottom end will be split with one on each end.
Some smaller non-open baffle designs will include something like my A/V-3, my A/V-3S, my A/V-1 and my A/V-1RS all using the same planar magnetic tweeter. All at affordable prices too.
All units will be fully assembled at MLS's factory. Finishes will include a gloss Rosewood, gloss birds eye Maple and possibly a Walnut or Ebony. Those of you familiar with their work knows that this is top of the line quality work. Just look at their own product lines at AV123 for an example.
There are still lots of details to work out but it all looks good for me. I will own a percentage of the company and I won't be using my money. Yep, he brings the capitol.
Prices will reflect dealer margins and it will be vary worth while for the dealers, so dealer inquires are welcome.
Projected retail price of the model seen at the show will be in the $5,600. to $6,000. a pair range, but we might wholesale a few pairs in the early going to get some units out there, in the news, and on the forums. Contact me about those if interested. Prices will be vary good.
The smaller unit and matching center channel will be about half of that (retail).
This guy will have them in a half a dozen or more stores in a few weeks time. He has that much pull. He may have them in a dozen or more before you know it and it wouldn't surprise me at all. I will announce his name at the appropriate time.
Questions are welcome. I will answer what I can.
