Jim Hagerman's vast line of DIY (hanging on

Duke LeJeune wrote us before the show,
inviting us to hear his first speakers. Invitation accepted! Duke is shown above with his
Audio Kinesis Jazz Module ($4000/pair), a two-way design that uses a Pioneer paper-cone
woofer and compression tweeter with a waveguide. He also showed the Stormbringer
($2800/pair), a large minimonitor. You just may see a review of Duke's speakers on SoundStage!
in the future.
