The "about us" page lists John Sollecito as chief designer. Here's a reference from Soundstage; http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/weaver13.htm

i have owned just about the whole line of source speakers, unsurpassed by none. wc drivers and incredible craftmanship,
handbuild by people with love. MADE IN USA

i have owned source speakers for about 12 years now, i think i went trough their whole line, i just keep upgrading.
when i buy new ones i don't even listen to them bevore i buy them, i know everything john sollecito from source technology makes is great. the wc drivers he uses are incredible. i power my speakers with a cinepro 3k6, the combination is just awesome. nothing but pure sound. bevore i got lucky to find these speakers i was running b&w. i went trough a whole line of speakers from fourier to apogee, but nothing comes even close to these speakers. these speakers are handbuild in conneticut and take about ten days to make, it' worth the wait.

Just because something is made in the US doesn't automatically mean that it's any good. Alternatively, just because something is made in China doesn't mean that it necessarily suffers from quality control issues.

i do have to agree with you on the MADE IN USA, just about everything we do make is all about profit margins and how high the stock can go by cutting labor and quality. but there are a few companies out there that do produce a product with pride and source technology is one of them.
once you have experienced THE SOURCE EXPERIENCE you'll understand, till then you will never know what good sound is.

Those are very high standards to live up to. Are there dealers in NYC where I can demo these speakers?

Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.

I sent sourcespeakers an e-mail on Sunday or Monday asking for a list of dealers in my area. I've yet to receiver a reply. This is not a good sign.

Haven't gotten to Hermann yet. I'm feeling a bit uneasy because if these guys don't answer a simple inquiry about a potential sale, I can see how this can become major aggravation when trying to get warranty service.

Thanks Mike. I'll shoot another e-mail out to Walt and Herrmann.

did you get a chance to check out the source speakers or the belles amp

Yes, I know I'm nine years late with this comment. I picked up the JSE 0.6 speakers along with the main sale of Vandersteen 2Ci. The seller said they were pretty good and the additional cost was small. I ran them for months on 25" stands (though the manual said 12"). As mentioned earlier, hefty, good woodwork and finish. I like them so much I recently got the Source Technologies 7211 reed, since as written by others, same engineer. The connection is that, to my understanding, JSE - formerly of Manchester, CT, a suburb northeast of Hartford, is named for John Sollecito Engineering. The infinite slope design was licensed to JSE, is now with Joseph Audio (might be in their Pulsar?) and the licensor (inventor) is Richard Modaferri? of McIntosh. Source Technologies seems to be John's next company, to get to the original author's point. South Windsor is another suburb northeast of Hartford, CT, adjacent to Manchester. The 7211 is great, a floorstander, is being used with another boutique brand, from the last 1980s, Kinergetics KPA-1 and KBA-75. Based on my two data points, I'd agree with another poster - a great well made choice. For reference, I also have the 2Ci, the ADS L-810, the McIntosh ML-1C, Dahlquist DQ-10 and DQ-20, and the JSE 0.6

While Source and JSE are about a half hour from me, I have no connection to them (though I'd love to visit someday)
