JAMES ROMEYN

Duke started designing speakers in the late 70s. In the late 80's he embarked on a quest to uncover "what really matters" in loudspeaker design. Pouring through back issues of audio engineering journals, Duke concluded that late-arriving reverberant field energy was a critical performance component. Through his association with waveguide patent holder Dr. Earl Geddes in the early 2000's, Duke learned the elements of radiation pattern control and optimized reverberant energy... Duke built his first commercial loudspeaker in 2005, his first constant-directivity waveguide speakers in 2006, and in 2007 introduced the 2008 TAS Golden Ear Award Winning "Dream Maker," with a unique "controlled-pattern vertical offset bipole design."
