We are currently building subwoofers only, but are looking into expanding into speakers to complement the subwoofers. The idea is to build active, high quality, high capacity speakers explicitly designed for use with subwoofers (they will roll off around 80hz).

They will have the SPL capacity to be used in a high-end home cinema (north of 110db clean SPL) as both left/right/center channel, but as with our subwoofers, the speakers will be designed for accurate music reproduction as the highest priority.

Currently considering a compact MTM-configuration, high-end dual 6.5" and tweeter, roughly 50cm high, powered by Hypex or something of similar quality.

The price level will be relatively high (let's say ballpark 5,000USD/pair), but on the bright side you won't need power amplifiers since they're active.

I was hoping to get some feedback on the interest of this, please only respond to the poll if this price range is something you would consider. Happy for any additional feedback and comments as well of course!

Thank you in advance!
