Well Bill, it is claimed the driver is made in the USA. I do not know how many companies are still actually building in the US aside from Eminence, or at least companies that can leverage the economy of scale to provide drivers for $400/pr speakers.

They will be at RMAF, so somebody can go out there and end the endless speculation.

I'm impressed that he's already passed his goal. This kickstarter thing really seems to work for some ventures. Though part of me can't help but be skeptical about the whole thing.

From the browsing I've done, it looks like 1/50 funded design or technology projects actually ship products within a year of when they say they will, and half of those are failures.

Unless it's a very simple design with a small amount of buyers, the project originator usually realizes he's in over his head.

For a cast frame at that price point there are no US sources. Eminence does not make a cast frame with that configuration.
