Doesn't everyone know about the Tymphany site?

But no one told other about how they are now 4 of the companies that have combined under that name. I knew of Peerless a subsidary of Tymphany but now scanspeak is under them how interesting

[phase_accurate]

Peerless, Scan-Speak and Vifa were all under one roof already (DST - Danish speaker Technologies) when they were acquired by Tymphany quite a while back. Simple as that !

Scan Speak is splitting back off to an independent agin.

.... while Vifa and Peerless head off to Asia.

I could see maybe why the decided to hop over the ocean
look at silver flute speaker specs on their cone speakers and look up precision audio equipment combine all these together with the Norway research and we may have a company called silverfluted symphony, just joking on the name but if they combine their research and equipment watch out. But we will have to wait and see.

I'm not going to raise any frequencies or whatever you are trying to mean, but I will raise my voice and say USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!

Tymphany merged with Danish Sound Technologies 4 years ago.

I'm pretty sure Scan-Speak is not going to join forces with Silver Flute.

It was a theoretical situation. I think what McMahon48 meant is that Asian drivers are not all white van speaker drivers, some -mainly Hi-Vi and Silver Flute- produce drivers that can give a few Western brands a pretty good run for their money, at a lower cost. These drivers can be integrated into European and North American designs to yield same quality speakers for less money, hypothetically speaking.

Hypothetically because high-end speaker manufacturers usually prefer to sell products at a higher profit yield than to pass the saving on to their customers. For example, Totem hasn't lowered its prices when it switched from Dynaudio to Hi-Vi as their midbass driver supplier. Why should they? Speakers sound the same so as long as the market bears it the situation won't change. But the pressure is building up, a few brands such as Wharfedale are now offering products using Chinese made drivers that sound quite good, much better than anything that could be found at the same price a decade ago.

SEAS is in Norway. Scan-speak is Danish.
