So once your warranty is up, I get your service dollars too............
..........bet he removes all the part numbers and maker codes.
(Reminds me of the $5,995 dollar Lexicon MC-1 preamp with it's notorious power supply burn outs, back at the beginning of the 2000s decade. Lexicon would never provide any details but would happily charge you around $700 I think it was to install their custom built, proprietary ONLY available from them at the "factory" replacement. Turns out it was nothing more than a cheap $25 dollar chinese off the shelf PSU made by Artesyn. Only thing "proprietary" about it was the part number they gave it, I politely declined their offer and finally dug up the O.E.S. part #, on a 6K chip amp and they still gouged like that on and at service time? after someone had spent 6K with them?...........but I digress)
Wants "reliably sourced" just so long as the end user doesn't know from whom. Dodges directly answering the question really well:
" LB: Without giving away any trade secrets, what can you share with us regarding your choice of drivers?GR: One of things I learned about during my development of the Vittora, was the importance of choosing drivers that can be reliably sourced. This is especially important with a bass horn, where the horn is specifically designed around a particular driver. It would be disastrous to develop a new bass horn only to have your driver supplier go belly up after only a few months.I chose all the drivers based on reliability of my source, on durability and longevity, and finally on sound quality, determined by listening. I think it’s a good combination of parts that have been integrated nicely by John’s crossovers. John did all of the final acoustic testing of the Vittoras as well, and he provides individual test results for each pair of crossovers delivered to our customers."

What a bargain
Bet you a nickel he'll be out of business in a year at this rate. At least as Volti Audio anyway.

The Legend Grows!
The internet is amazing
You would think this guy is Thomas Jefferson by the time they're through! :)
All I want to know is something about the speakers without having to scrounge for it all over the place
He'll be in the Audio Hall of Fame soon along with James Bullough Lansing and his hero "P.W.K.", just read post #7:
