The last of the parts are arriving shortly. Hopefully they will arrive at our shop at the end of this month. Our first production run went off without any problems. This second run, however, was filled full of supplier/supply problems. The major thing first was the availability of neo. The last thing, however, was the diaphragms. Now everything is sorted and the diaphragms are headed over to us. Believe me, I want these speakers built as much as you do!
With this run of speakers, we have ordered a lot of extra parts from our soft parts vendors so we will have plenty of re-cones available if needed. Coils, spiders, carriers, diaphragms, surrounds, you name it, we will have plenty of it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
For this next run we're planning on trying to hedge this kind of thing from happening again and placing a large order of raw components. Once the big order happens all drivers will be personally built by me. Even at that point I may have to pull a lot of late nights to keep up with all of the orders. The inquiries about buying BM mkIII's is getting pretty staggering. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
...and after these pre-order drivers get built and shipped out the remainder of the drivers will probably be sold in the first couple of days once we open up ordering again. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif If I had it my way we would have enough parts to build all the speakers necessary right this instant. But with everything that's going on overseas it's not an issue of placing an order, it's an issue of if/when we receive our order.
One last thing: For those of you who don't know, SI now has a
Facebook page. The Facebook page has even more current updates than our newsletter does since tiny updates can be posted easily on there.
