When Andrew Jones designed speakers for Pioneer, he earned accolades for the $80,000 TAD Reference 1 speakers, considered one of the best sounding speakers of all time. Now he’s moved over to ELAC Audio, and is shaking up the hi-end audio world with his latest lines of affordable speaker that sound incredible for pennies on the dollar.
CoolCleveland spoke with the amazing Mr. Jones about his design philosophies, the fine art of compromise and how he gets such good sound out of a pair of speakers that sells for $280 for the pair. View the video here.
