I saw this article in my Google Feed and it got me thinking about Luca Chesky, the son of my friend and recording engineer, David Chesky. Luca, at 17 years old is making 3D printed loudspeakers that have gotten the attention of people like Sandy Gross (co-founder of Polk, Definitive, GoldenEar). I just saw him showing his
audiophile speakers at both Axpona and Munich. Made in the US. Tariff proof. And he's not even in college yet.
The above article begs an interesting question... with a big enough 3D printer and easy access to super-high-quality parts could normal audiophiles make their own
uber-high-end loudspeakers?
DIY speakers have always seemed silly to me but these are different times. AI, 3D printing. Class D-Amps that kick total ass for cheap?
Do you think they have a point? Perhaps more so now, than before?
