Hi Flo,

Can you remove Monsoon Audio from the list of DIY and Ribbon Driver Makers please. I am getting calls here from around the World from Engineers thinking they are in operation once more. This is not the case. Monsoon is not in operation. Thanks, Peter.

Wow, so someone is reading this :-) It has been removed.

Thanks

Peter The Monsoon must of been pretty good if your getting calls around the world from Engeneers.Ever thought on making your own brand with all the R&D on your belt?

**Peter Duminy** · 10-12-2005, 08:52 PM

Hi Pat,

I had thought about doing that in the 1980's but it always became a financial problem, and headache. I think my calling in life is RD&D after 34 years of it now. Still enjoy every moment of it.

Let's not forget the legendary Jecklin, even if it's "only" a headphone:

I've only once seen them, in a music store in Bern, Switserland. Could be very well it was this one ... http://www.jecklin.ch/

You forgot to include Bohlender Graebener planar radia speakers- the best speaker in the world bar none.

Hi Florian,

I did post a thread to tell you that I loved the look of your system, and wanted to know where you got those beautiful lamps in the teaser photo, but I think you didn't see the post.

By the way, I responded to a thread several months back, saying that I'd seen a pair of Grands out of Las Vegas go for 15K, which you questioned, and as it turns out, you were right. Actually, I found out that they were the Full-Range (as new), and not the Grands. Can you tell me what the difference is between these two loudspeakers? I do notice a subwoofer on the Grands, but don't see one on the Full-Ranges. Are the Grands better than the Apogee Full-Range, and if so, why?

Thanks

**O'Shag** · 01-13-2008, 12:41 PM

Thanks Flo,

The Grands are very beautiful looking. My lord, 1300lbs per side!! I am very intrigued by the active crossover approach. It's an expensive way to go, but the reasons for the benefits of active crossovers seems to make a lot of sense. I'll have to run a search on the lamps.

I think your philosophy is similar to mine, in that the system should be in harmony with the environment one lives in. Thats what I'm always looking to accomplish (although not always successfully) and what I like so much about your system. Although the Grands are very large, you managed to blend them into your living space so well.

I'd love the opportunity to talk to you in person, but I'm in the US, and if I'm not mistaken you are in Germany, and I don't have VoIP yet.

**Florian** · 01-13-2008, 01:37 PM

Hello,

no worries about that. Just PM me your number, my international calling rates to the US are downright silly cheap

**mike22** · 03-16-2009, 06:01 PM

ESS, at one point (later, I think) the maker/marketer of the Heil AMT (Air Motion Transformer), and used it in comb with 8' 10" or 12" woofs in cabinet.
I forget the name just now.

The AMT is a bit tricky and I am not sure that I completely understand it. It's an ESL and inside it is flat, so I guess it's a planar.

I've got a pair but have not yet had time to open.

**JarreYuri** · 03-06-2011, 03:46 PM

Some update should be in order.

Your Apogee Acoustics link should be: http://www.apogeeacoustics.com/
Your Perigee link should be: http://www.apogeeacoustics.com/
This is because Perigee is a model of Apogee Acoustics and not a manufacturer.

Apogee Speakers that is an information site and should instead be added as: http://apogeespeakers.com/

The Transmission Audio link should be corrected to: http://www.transmissionaudio.com/

Cheers!
