Nuyes in his review of the A6b posted this and, as you can see, compression does not seem to be a problemView attachment 489514

Thank you!!

Basically no. We have waited a few months to get our allocation and first real shipment will arrive end of this month. There is no outlook for more right now. Let alone new models.

Why is that ? Bottlenecks in manufacturing or investments reqd for manufacturing at scale ?

Part shortages/lead time. Too much demand. Cash flow. And a small company trying to scale.

C8T will have the controlled directivity pattern like cardioid speakers down to 150-200Hz.
It is rarely seen in passive design without passive cardioid hole. Most close design is KEF Blade.

Any plans for an S8T (tower w. Purifi tweeter) eventually?

Our full Purifi equipped S6B will be the top notch bookshelf. Can’t imagine better than this as 2 way 6” bookshelf league.

Final waveguide and grille moulding is produced recently and we are preparing mass production. Though the stocks are very less for the first batch. But the result will be worth to wait.

This looks really good and measurements are impressive.

That white one, I think I saw the photos before... @JensA aren't those your photos? You returned yours?

Any idea when F6B will be in stock again for audiophonics? On their website it says between 15-25 days, but it has been saying that for a while now.

Parts are scarce for smaller manufacturers at this time, not to mention tariff issues.

I find this hard to believe...
For example, UK got a batch few weeks ago (and expecting a next batch soon), while audiophonics did not get any and still ETA mid December for C6B. I had an order placed early august for example, but got postponed couple of times. If I did not cancel then it would have taken 5 month (assuming it will arrive this time around and not postponed again). When I ordered It was ETA 15-25 days. That's a crazy duration (5 months) to wait for a pair of speakers. I do hope the best for AsciLab, but I won't ever order their items again, unless it's in stock.

Why's that?

Depending on your situation they are probably worth the wait. I think most people buying these are pretty aware of measurements and likely already own a decent pair of speakers they can make do with for awhile. In other posts I’ve been hard on this brand. They have made a decision to comprompise sensistivity for a flat frequency. That said, I can’t argue with the numbers. They are killer designs assuming you aren’t trying to drive them with a 5wt amp. And tbh I’d want 100w minimum btw, and more ideally. This is a small niche brand, plenty of others if you need them tomorrow that are great like KEF. I’d give them a shot and wait a bit if I was looking at spins.

then let it be said the only negative reaction to the S6B’s measurements have been by those who haven’t seen them
