How to create a masterpiece.

 

  First locate the production facility in an inspirational environment; the polders just north of Amsterdam, the Netherlands are a fine choice.

 

  Second, fill the facility with a conscientious, dedicated, and skilled craftsman.

 

  Use the highest quality building materials and mill them to exacting specifications.

 

  Accept nothing less than a perfect fit!

 

  Spare no resource.

 

  Design and build proprietary tooling for precise machining of each cabinet.

 

  Meticulously match, inspect, and seam premium book-matched hardwoods.

 

  Permanently join cabinet and hardwood skins using custom designed pneumatic presses.

 

  Hand sand each cabinet to a silky smoothness and seal each creation with the finest lacquer applied by a master finisher.

 

  Have the technical department test and match all electrical components.

 

  Hand assemble and hard-wire these components together and test the completed assembly.

 

  Oh, don't forget to test, match, and inspect every driver.

 

  Upon completion, perform a final examination. Use empirical anechoic models, and the experienced ears of your technical staff.

 

  Finally, protect your creation with a solid, custom fitted shipping container.
