It's a funny old world where a range of speakers pretty well equals the costs of a range of cars from nice saloon to supercar. We are just talking about a box, a few magnets, coils of wire, cones etc. My view is that supposedly high tech engineering doesn't do any harm, but is not actually crucial - it really doesn't matter whether strut 3A is 4.2mm or 4.5mm across or, probably, even there in the first place. These chassis look like demo files for a CAD program, created in about 10 minutes to look complicated and impress the punters, but which hardly cost any more to make once the CNC machine is purchased - cyncial, moi? Overt over-engineering isn't all that expensive to do once a decision is made to market one's company as 'high end' in contrast with typical mass production and its often absurd cost trimming.
