I just got a set of Hemp tone speakers and put them in my Jamos and holy S@#$ they are amazing! The Jamo5 1/4 speaker didn't even have a chance. My friend is marketing these speakers and is doing really well and this is my first time hearing any of their cones. I didn't have any speaker that would fit the 5 1/4 inches cone except the Jamo's. They are incredible I am going to get him to send me some 7 inchers for my b&w speakers.....

these are for real.

Check out hemptone speakers.com and read the specs for yourself. I am just saying they blow away the Jamo speakers that I replaced them with.

Sorry, hemptonespeakers.com is the address. I am sold for sure. They are also making custom speakers using the hemptone technology and many studios have ordered them.

I have had a few sharp Email exchanges with that outfit. They are releasing speakers with no specs. At the moment I consider that outfit pure BS and beyond the pale!

Anyhow you can't swap speakers! Any speaker has to have its drivers replaced with drivers of identical Thiel Small parameters and identical frequency response and roll off.

What you are doing is speaker engineering malpractice of the worst variety!

I thought the same thing when I read this....umm, hello, crossover network. :eek: Can't just swap out drivers...it's not that easy.
 
You might also want to disclose that you are a rep for them as well and your friend makes them (per your PM to me). There's nothing wrong with that, but this is bordering on a commercial posting at this point.

Not to mention all the bits of bias shooting out of his mouth and getting stuck to the monitor.

Well I will add that to the list of what this outfit has done to infuriate me!

Fancy even suggesting you replace Jamo and B & W drivers with their junk. What a nerve!

All the drivers on their page had specs except for the sub one.

WOW my mistake

I am not a rep for them yet I was asked yesterday to check out the 5 1/4 ich speakers and they performed way better than the original Jamo speaker that was in them. I am not going to rep for them as I am not a salesman. I have been in the live and studio world for 22 years and these drivers are amazing. Today I am going to spect them with smart live and spectrafoo and measure for real their specs. I guess I made a mistake trying out ANYTHING that is unconventional and then posting.

Well the plot has thickened!

This outfit have done a lot of tease advertising over the last few months. They were showing potentially interesting product.

http://www.hempacoustics.com/products.php

I have had correspondence with them as recently as March 27. They had published no specs. All of a sudden there are specs on their site, sooner than even they said they would be available.

They also recently announced, now off their website, but on it recently, that the partners had fallen out.

My suspicion is that this is the result of the fall out.

http://www.hemptonespeakers.com/

Under the circumstances I would be suspicious of the specs from both outfits, until verification.

I have just realized this morning that there are now two outfits in the hemp speaker business. I thought the OP was referring to the original outfit in my bookmarks. These two companies I think are born out of the fallout.

That depends on what you do with the hemp.:D
Haha.

To my understanding, cone material doesn't have a large effect on sound when the cone is properly designed. Regardless of if this company is legit or not, hemp speaker cones are actually a pretty good idea. I mean, for every one acre of hemp you need four acres of trees to have the same yield. Not to mention, the hemp grows a lot quicker than trees, is a lot easier to harvest, recycle, etc. :eek: It would be neat to see more companies experiment with it.

No, which is why I didn't shut down the thread, ban you or anything. You seem to be genuinely excited about the speakers. It's just that when you add it all together, you're not an average consumer stumbling onto the product. You're an insider, whether you asked for it or not.

They may be great speakers, but they also seem to have some surrounding controversy and we're not really prepared to do a review on them right now.

I'm still struggling with the concept of how a plant has a "tone." I can't seem to get past the name. Does one smoke the speakers and then hear all kinds of things?

Can't it just be a name? It's better than AV123 or something.:D
