I see that Pete Riggle of VTAF fame [NOTE: I use his VTAF and am well pleased.] is one of the writers.  Thanks for the URL.

My read on it was that the $60k driver set was the inspiration but that their vintage drivers were about $1k and the whole project clocked at about $2,000.  Long article, maybe I read wrong.

Yeah, it's easy to blow off a project that requires 60 grand to start, but for 2k........... :-k
