People with the pockets to get this speaker (which dear lord would I ever love to have an hour in front of it
) are not going to compromise anything.
They probably have $150K room it's going into.
I personally don't think any SQ promises are being made. Simply stating that they are using Kimber. I don't see performance claims being made.
As hinted previously by Gene, I hope that they offer a more affordable solution in the RHB line. Cost reduced through some normal copper IC's. Probably PCB'd X-Overs, low cost but well built binding posts etc, A lower tier of driver that is still stellar on clean output etc...
It's nice to see a no holds barred speaker. Even my Statements are a cost consideration. Their driver selection is one based on $ to Performance. The 8T's are not. They are simply performance first and cost's second.
To say this speaker has got the juices flowing in what I would do with a dedicated room is an understatement.
