Top 20 Commercial Monitor Speakers in the World!!!

Re: Top 20 Commercial Monitor Speakers in the World!!!

If that is true, Peerless must be planning on selling a metric sh!t-ton of those drivers. The very high-tech firm I worked for spent a minimum $5M per line, and that included all custom machinery, designed in-house, built in-house etc. The equipment was capable of 1/50 millionth of an inch repeatability on forming and welding stainless parts, contained massive robotic systems, a lot of custom software, vision systems, etc.

They had to hit a five year RoI, or it was a no-go. My current company demands a two year RoI on any cap-ex projects.

All of which makes me wonder what else they are building on this machine, or if Peerless has dumped a lot of eggs in one basket. $10M buys some serious hardware.

That figure came from Pers Skaaning. He mentioned that fashioning poly cones to that shape didn't take much of a machine (only 5 figures), but that for the wood pulp and fiber cones, the machines were in the range of $10M. They're suggesting $200+ per NE driver . . .

And the drivers they build right, are amazing.

Really unique cone design, and from what I understand, the machine to make that cone costs in the neighborhood of $10M. :eek:

I like.

What are those drivers, a Satori and what's the other?

Me like too!!! :D

It's actually the Vifa NE225. The cone does look like the Satori. Really unique cone design, and from what I understand, the machine to make that cone costs in the neighborhood of $10M. :eek:

The tweeter is the Dayton Reference RS28F (or RS28A).

3-way floor stander sound in a stand mount 2-way.

I'll put the Aurora up against any of those listed. And I have the data to back up the claim. ;)
