The Process

1. The Conversation

You call me. +1 816-918-5058. We talk for an hour. Your room. Your amps. Your music. Your cables. If you don’t have biamp capability yet, we spec it. If you’re not serious, you’ll know in 10 minutes. I’m not here to sell. I’m here to build.

2. The Wood

I select the solid wood slabs or ply sheets. Best suppliers only.
Book-matched for grain and color.
Mirror-image or symmetrical pairs only.
You approve the boards before I cut.
Once it’s cut, it’s yours. Or it’s firewood.

3. The Cut

CNC for the joinery, vents, and driver rabbets. Tolerances: 0.5 mm for vented, 0.01 cubic feet for sealed.

Hand-finish everywhere you’ll touch.

I’ve rejected cabinets for 0.6 mm misalignment. Not because you’d hear it. Because the speaker would know.

4. The Tune

You bring your amps to Bonner Springs. Or we ship test amps back and forth.
I measure. I voice. I adjust.

Each driver gets its own amplifier channel. No passive parts to hide behind.
When it measures right and sounds right, we move on.

5. The Shipment

We will arrange the shipping by whichever method will deliver your Altisonus in perfect condition.

You’re not unboxing a commodity. You’re receiving a commission.

Why 8 Weeks

Because I don’t stock parts. I don’t cut corners. I build when you commission. And I only build 6 pairs a year.

If you need them next week, buy someone else’s speaker.
