Their speakers are known for their distinctive enclosures, custom drivers, and a design philosophy that rejects conventional box speaker norms in favor of a more immersive musical experience. Presently, the company is run by Richard Shahinian's son, Vasken, maintaining a small but dedicated following worldwide.
