And it?s their remarkable versatility and strength-to-weight that makes manufacturing our radically-shaped cabinets possible. We make them all entirely in-house, by hand, giving us complete control over materials, tooling, production, finishing and quality. One of the key features (indeed, selling points) of competing systems is their sheer weight. And in loudspeakers where you have front-mounted bass drivers, a heavy base is essential to prevent the cabinet from moving around. With our Reaction Cancelling Compliant Mount, we don?t require weight (even our flagship GIYA G1 Spirit weighs just 80kg) but we do need stiffness. So, we build our cabinets using a vacuum-infused glass-reinforced composite, which allows us to add rigidity exactly where it?s needed."</blockquote>
