Just to add to Tom's post, I'll say that 100% of
the underlying R&D for this loudspeaker was completed before we demonstrated
the CLR here in Dallas at the end of January. At that time, there were no
remaining issues related to the design's performance.
I never publicly discuss, let alone demonstrate, my work until all
performance issues have been thoroughly addressed. What remained were a number
of routine, but time-consuming, tasks required to successfully manufacture a
loudspeaker. Those of you who have had any involvement in production will have
encountered the same kinds of issues. FYI, I have now signed off on
pre-production samples.
