Is the Panache still in the plans?

[alphaiii]

Craig,

Now that the WAF-1 is out, I know you're concentrating on bring some subs to market.

But what about future speaker offerings? Is the Panache idea (or something similar) still in the plans?

Man, good question.
I forgot all about that one.

I saw this post by Nuance over at AVS...

"I have heard the yet to be produced Panache speakers (I heard the prototype, and they are expected to sell for less than the WAF-'s as they contain one full range 3" driver...that's if they are in fact brought to the market), and they bested the NHT Classic 2's I compared them to."

All the more reason to get these Panache speakers into production - seems like they could be a great small, low budget option.

bump...still curious about these little guys....:poke:

Me, too....I had planned on using my $50 credit on a DAC-MAN, and since that has gone by the wayside the Panache would be the next leading candidate.

This is an example of another TCA product I don't need, but want to try out anyway!

While I don't have anywhere to put the Panache's, I'd find a place given what I remember them sounding like in an earlier phase.

Can you expand on this?

Guys - I have not forgotten about Panache, but other projects have taken a place ahead of Panache in the queue ... :huge:

There was a top secret Panache prototype that was auditioned a couple years back before TCA was officially announced.

I recall seeing those little glossy red, single-driver cubes at the Erie GTG. I don't remember staying long enough to hear them though.

It should be a popular system once it is ready for prime time.

Are you now on double secret probation then?

Yes, but not for that. I believe they were declassified long ago. Heck, I never saw them or heard them so I can't be the source of the leak.

[Nuance]

If they do go into production and sell for less than the WAF-1's (which are awesome, by the way), all I have to say is WOW! :boom:
