Who says making big profits selling audiophile speakers is easy?

In this episode Steve Guttenberg discusses the real costs of designing, manufacturing, and selling audiophile speakers with Tekton Design's Eric Alexander. 

He refers to the costs of his tweeters, mids, and woofers from suppliers SB Acoustics and  Eminence. 

Later in the episode Eric talks about his yet to be released new recording and playback technology, and his new speaker company that will make bespoke, very high-end speakers.

Do Audiophiles Have Opinions, Do They Ever!

A lot of us have strong feelings about audio and sound, but too often our opinions are based on old information or with little or no direct experience.

Interview: Klipsch's Roy Delgado on the making of the new Jubilee!

I spoke with Klipsch's Roy Delgado just a few days ago, and we really had a good time! I love the man's sense of humor, he always makes me laugh! He's played a large role in designing the Heresy, Forte, Cornwall, LaScalla, and later versions of the Klipschorn! This time we mostly talked about the Klipsch Jubilee's long history, dating back to 1996! Back then Roy was working with the man himself, Paul W. Klipsch, and the Jubilee was to be the brand's new flagship. Well, it wasn't an easy ride, the Jubilee is just now going into full production!

Here's a Zoom  interview I did with Roy a few years ago. https://youtu.be/Jv7JZ5Nptqk

Audiophile Confession

The Audiophiliac confesses he?s losing interest in playing CDs, he?s streaming more and more music from Tidal and Qobuz. AND he?s playing more LPs than he has in years!  He was a restless audiophile before he was a reviewer, always looking for new sensations. It?s fun! Not for everyone, but it is for some of us.
