It may come as a surprise to relative newcomers to the field of audio, but some loudspeaker manufacturers are manufacturers in only a limited sense. They buy drivers, off-the-shelf or custom-built, from companies like VIFA, SEAS, Focal, etc.; cabinets from a woodworking shop; and crossovers from an electronics subcontractor. While the system design will have taken place in-house, actual manufacturing is restricted to assembling the components, perhaps tweaking the crossover, and final QC. Even some highly successful loudspeaker manufacturers use this approach, which can work well as long as the suppliers do their jobs properly.

Napster Knockoffs Proliferate; Kenwood Unveils MP3 Enhancement

For months now, the music industry has concentrated all its legal firepower on <A HREF="http://www.napster.com/">Napster</A&gt;, the Silicon Valley&ndash;based software company that lets users share music; and against San Diego's <A HREF="http://www.mp3.com/">MP3.com</A&gt;, which lets users upload their music to a central server and then access it from any Internet-connected computer.

What remained of Apogee was picked up by a/d/s/, which at the time made a commitment to supply parts and service for the thousands of speakers in use, but that plan appears to have been abandoned shortly after it was announced. Apogee owners have since had to fend for themselves.
