Update: The crossover team was out all last week so we didn't make much progress on the final units although this coming week could put us back on the right path and get this final element signed off. I'm excited to be nearing the end of development and getting this sound into your hands. As you'd expect we have a half dozen parties interested in doing early evaluations and reporting their findings. Based on what I heard putting this first set of six models together (the seventh was pushed into a slightly different program*) nobody wants to be at that stage more than I do.
For those of you considering the A line, I have to report that they remain a deeply competitive series; maybe too competitive. You know the L line has larger and more expensive models as well as different design goals, but the A line compares exceptionally well. I say that as the only guy who's heard the incoming new A1.5 and its stepped-up soundstage and scale, but all the A models acquit themselves well by comparison to new Chane stuff I suspect will itself stand against - and probably surpass - some regarded flagship models out in the field in areas like focus and definition. I'm not speculating as much as that sounds: There are specific technical reasons for such a positive distinction.
*Still in the offing are a good dozen other proven model concepts - all of them at least the sophistication and cost - of the L line. Being a small company we have to sneak up on them in sets of four or six because that's how our factories like to work. I've said before that much of the last three or four years has gone into developing the contrasting benefits of large scale economies and small batch supply. As unusual as that combination is we're all committed to it.
That's it for now. More to come as it happens. Thanks for your very kind patience.
