View Full Version : The Making of Loadspeakers
After some years on this forum, (was a member before this "new" one) I do not understand why some of the members has not started a loudspeaker company.
All the know-how presented with qs, ts and a lot of other specifications witch does not mean anything to me, and not to forget those who build beautiful cabinets.
Why have you people not started a company? I am sure that this company would have been more successful than most others (like Wilson) because the prices would have been "down to earth".
I challenge you skilled people (you know who you are) ... what is your answer?

I agree with you , Rolf , although I think that when you turn PASSION into PRODUCTION that it now becomes WORK.

1) It's a pain in the ass.
2) Marketing.
3) Competition.
4) It's a pain in the ass.
5) Production facilities.
6) Costs skyrocket once you move out of the garage and hire people.
7) It's a pain in the ass.

Rolf,
I do not have the qualifying only the interest (which can be helpful sometimes):
Looking around for around 40 years, MANY came up
and MANY, MANY are gone. :blink:

Rolf, it has been said that the best way to become a millionaire is to start with two million and go into the loudspeaker business. Despite this a friend and I have founded Cogent True-To-Life Loudspeakers Inc., a California corporation.
We have been in intensive (and expensive!) development of our drivers and systems for three years now. Some coverage of our exhibit at THE Show in Las Vegas a year ago can be found here:

Hi TD,
We're in the market already... sort of. We've made a few sales, by personal contact and word of mouth. I am working on our web site now, part of our world domination strategy. We have demoed at four trade shows, though we are taking a breather from Las Vegas this year.
We are also supplying new, improved performance diaphragms and replacement field coils for the classic RCA MI-1428B and MI-1443 compression drivers. We feel it is part of our mission to help keep the remaining examples of these remarkable drivers singing.
We are now working on filling a current need for about twenty of our midrange and bass drivers. Beyond that we will have to gauge demand and order parts accordingly after our site goes up.
