re: Listening Get Together




I checked out their website and was surprised to see they are located in Piper City, IL...about 5 miles from my daughter's house.  There is also a company in Piper City called ATS Acoustics (which has been in business several years and from whom I have bought several cartons of Owens-Corning 703).  It's a really small town in the "middle of nowhere" where you wouldn't expect to find two audio-related enterprises.  I wonder if the two companies have any relationship?  Didn't see any evidence of audio tinkering the last time I visited ATS about 4 years ago.  Big E apparently is looking for small volume contract speaker builders to construct their products...I don't know that I'd like that as a business plan, how do you QC/QA everything that gets sold under your name if multiple small time builders are doing it for you?  Well, if there's anyting to it, I might drop in for a visit next time I'm down that way.
