This blows. No more Brahmas, Kodas, Extremis, Tempests... I wonder if they are gonna sell off the xbl^2 rights.

Im really amazed. With the product they had going, the new motor design everyone was talking about (xbl^2), their OEM work... frankly Im shocked they couldn't make a go of it.

IMO nothing seemed right when they moved out of the country...I didn't follow much after that except to pop on SI.net to see everyone start to hate DW lol.

That's what happens when you don't really know how to design your own speakers...

It seems...

well considering you had to go on a man hunt lately to get extremis/bramahs/tempests. I can't say that I am surprised. A friend of mine called SEVERAL dealers/distributors for adire trying to hunt down some extremis about a month ago...All of them said the same thing.

"We haven't heard ANYTHING from Adire in months."

He finally found a pair of BNIB extremis from some dealer....the "date of production" was late 2005. He bought the speakers in April 07.

Looks like years of screwing people over have finally caught up to Wiggins. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did once the whole Chile manufacturing facility stuff started happening.

And BTW, people are still making XBL^2 drivers.

Robot Underground bought up the last of the inventory a few months ago I believe. They got some crazy amount of motors for pretty cheap.

DIYMA had a thread about this about a week ago;http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14657

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... called this YEARS AND YEARS ago...
LAwl...

And to think what people said to me when I said Dan Wiggins was meh...

Yes. Dan always rubbed me the wrong way... and i wasn't a huge fan of the xbl2 drivers i heard anyways

Meh...

indeed

going out of business sale anyone?

As NG said- no drivers, no sale (and what drivers they may have around.. 50-60% probably don't work correctly anyways, lol)

Robot underground always snatches up the good shit, then resells it at retarded high prices

It mentions on the audiojunkies link that Dan and crews may already have something new in the works...

As I posted on DIYMA, Dan and David have a new company, called ADI that they are doing OEM work through. As for XBL^2 (now being referred to as the more sensical term SplitGap), it is still being implemented in a number of drivers, primarily through the companies that the OEM side of Adire was supporting in the first place.

It's a shame, but when you can't get a recone right, you're probably in trouble.

Recone? forget that.. all the defective brahmas sent out were bad enough.. recones as well.. that's bad

Im surprised how many people think that music with virtually inaudible distortion sounds dry or lifeless. Im not dissing your opinion, in some ways I prefer the sound of traditional non-BL optimized drivers too... but that's sort of a sad statement about our quest for perfection in sound reproduction isnt it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
