Hi Folks - Wanted this community to be among the first to hear about our new business launch. Excited to hear what you think.

We are pleased to go live with three high-end speaker models: The beautiful two-way Desktop, an innovative three-way monitor, and a no compromise Center Channel. In addition we also supply made to order, hand built audio cables.

Ostinato Speakers are hand built in the USA from quality materials. Featuring: Beautiful cabinets finished in real wood; Ribbon tweeters; Innovations such as user switchable cross-over and open back mid-range tunnel (Monitor).

As adason says, good luck, it is a hard row to hoe.

The home page doesn’t seem to work very well.

And the "no compromise Center Channel” immediately had me go look at the picture.

Unless the mids & tweeter are within a 1/4 wavelength (the use of a ribbon makes that an impossibility), the use of 2 side-by-side mids is a significant compromise — but all speakers are heavily compromised. You have to be careful what you say around here or you could get ripped to shreds. Members can be merciless. The spacing of the woofers also needs to be within a quarter wavelength at the XO point as well, but that is likely doable, it would certainly be possible to get them closer.

Can that be chalked up to common, ordinary internet troll-age? Of which DIYAudio is no exception?

Good luck with your new business. Products are fairly priced and well out of my range, at least in this life.

Marketing speakers must be a tough row; seems you can only do yet another of the most common paradigms, i.e. rectangular furniture grade enclosures, multi way with passive xovers accepting single or bi-amp inputs. Anything else too exotic for most of the customer base to recognize / understand.
 
ostinatospeakers,

Wish you success in your journey.

As others have already said, it's a tough market, but which market isn't?

I hope you guys are focusing on different direct sales/marketing channels including social media to reach your target client groups.
