It’s a very hard market to price for... we shall see in a few years I guess
    They are also most likely using adhesives and coatings that are better for automotive use. I have heard of a few guys having issues with their home version accuton drivers not lasting in the car due to temperature swings and/or sunlight

    The utopia m 3 way with 6.5, 3.5, and tweeter retails for under 4500. under 4900 if you swap the 6.5 to the 8. Then theres the Ultima line though, but those are more of a status symbol than anything and ive only seen one pair ever installed in the US and it was in an ORCA demo vehicle. Those are 15k for a two way front set plus a pair of subs.

    They now have a website. Doesn't really tell us much we don't already know although its a nice website. I don't know that you can really get your hands on them on a regular basis yet. If I was in the market I guess I would contact Peter at PSSounds.
