Uh, spraying paint and adhesive without a respirator? Operating a wood milling machine without a respirator or hearing protection?? You can bet that is the poster child for unsafe, and wouldn't fly with any safety agency. I think this video is going to cause them more problems than the promotion of their product warrants.I thought the same thing as stated above about worker safety and the seeming lack of precautions. But then I assumed that if no safety precautions were being taken, then there were no safety risks with the processes shown in the video. I would love to hear how Magnepan (or OSHA!) would respond to this issue. Are there, in fact, risks, and if so, why aren't they being addressed?
Uh, I've never been within a million miles of any of that stuff. Apparently you have. So...Uh, spraying paint and adhesive without a respirator?

And apparently no COVID precautions in place either. If I were them, I'd be hugely embarrassed that the video ever saw the light of day.I agree, the working conditions there look terrible. Perhaps this video will serve the purpose of instigating the process of putting proper safety measures in place.
Manufacturers ignoring common sense safety rules is extremely serious and happens all to frequently in industry. If you were to inhale paint vapor or wood dust all day long in your writing duties, you would have a very short career with a painful end. I wouldn't be cavalier about the risks many workers take to make the products you use every day.Uh, I've never been within a million miles of any of that stuff. Apparently you have. So...
I'm an English major who became a writer. If you want to talk about objective correlatives, parallel syntax or negative capability, I could probably "Uh" you all day long.
well, no masks during spray is nothing can be excused of with other measures, you will inhale all the harmful substances even with negative pressure, plus for that workshop there's no way such can be achieved. Crafty products are something I can appreciate, but lack of basic health protection is definitely not good, especially when you really like the brandSpeaking as a proud LRS owner, I cannot see how Magnepan can charge what they do for the speakers. These speakers have only a single automated workstation, that being the frame router. Everything else is hand done, labor intensive, and very "crafty."
Yes, we all saw some things that could and should be improved from a manufacturing safety perspective. However, at the same time we may not have seen other measures that might have been in place such as negative pressurization zones to draw away particulates and VOC's. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback, and not see the whole field of play.
Again, given the labor intensive manufacturing processes, I just can't see how these speakers are sold at the price point they are.
Happy as hell with my LRS's.
