Wow! Imagine what a good bass would sound like in that system.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

The last line in the vid... (hauntingly) effective sales pitch.

A bit out of my reach but it is cool to see a company that still does everything from beginning to end.

The standards of  modern speaker measurement and design exist within the mathematics and design specifications known as : The Thiele - Small Parameters :)

Here  we have it explained : https://www.speakerplans.com/page89.html     

Enclosures and Speakers are best matched with their most closely intended design features :)

That was entertaining. Kinda' reminded me of a TV show I used to like called "How It's Made". The little hat-tip to Martin Guitars was nice too.  ;)
