Considering that Cessaro claims that they pay for $500 worth TAD drivers (OEM) over $5000 then I might only imagine how much premium will be apply for field coil option. The Feastrex people claim that field-coil are great because the can do more powerful magnets and magnets and more flux in the gap. The ignorant fools hear it and begin to drool saliva and lick own lips when they hear it. Then Feastrex release the field-coil driver that cost 4-5 times more than regular driver but… with the same flux in the gap. So, I feel that your Cessaro Beta for $30K (for instance) for instance decided to go all compression drivers field-coil then can move the price for $90Kand let it go on “street” for $70K. Wait until some idiot of Robert Harley or Jonathan Valin caliber will blab that the given speaker field-coil establish a relation with Magnetic South Pole and engage the Moon’s magnetosphere. …

It was not the point that I have made. I said that the old technology might be resurrected for marketing purposes and I predict that it will be very beneficial to serve the marketing objectives. I however did not refuse to admit that the old technology MIGHT BE used for sonic objectives. However, knowing the industry and knowing the feeble characters that work in there I presume that as soon the old technology put the books out of red no one will in industry give a damn about the sonic objectives.The CaRerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
