Hi there all!
Genungo, thank you for the kind words! The next time you head up this way, be sure to give us a call and we'll make sure to set aside plenty of time. Even play with the new Recital 2's some!
Yes, the grill covers are standard. I'm just an audio geek I guess, and like to see the drivers :) .. but all new models are shipped with grill covers.
The drivers are proprietary, and made just for us in Minneapolis, USA. Our cabinets are made by hand using solid wood, no MDF, particle board, veneer or any of that. Solid poplar, with a 1 3/4" front baffle board, and 3/4" cabinet walls.
Kara Chaffee, who designs and builds all of the deHavilland tube electronics is a good friend of ours, and has had a part in helping to develop the Sonist line. We actually voice our speakers on a little ol' 8 wpc EL84 SET amp. However, anyone who made it to our room in Newport earlier this year can attest that our speakers do phenomenal even with big Class A 120 wpc amplifiers.
One other thing I did want to mention. All of our speakers are front ported. So, they actually do very well jammed back up against the wall. I just happen to have a nice-sized listening room, so I pull them out a bit.
Thanks again for the review! I look forward to your next trip north!
