"Wes," Perry Pecker exclaimed as we passed each other in the 10th-floor corridor. "We have something you might enjoy."

Such as?

"I make drivers for OEM, but I have put together some DIY kits for audiophiles who are up for a little fun."

Pecker is president of marketing and sales at HempAcoustics, which makes drivers from hemp, a wonderfully stiff natural material. Pecker's Timefield kits are affordable and impressive. The $300USD TF4.5 employs a single 4.5" driver in a CNC-cut cabinet (you assemble and finish it yourself It claims 95.5dB sensitivity and 55Hz–20kHz response.

Ayre's Steve Silberman and I thought the speaker was fun. Yes, it could get a little aggressive when pushed, but we dug the look and sound a lot.

Other models are available, including ones with Bamboo cabinets.

Thank you Wes for your kind words and enthusiasm, we appreciate it. But just to clarify, The Timefield’s employ dual drivers as they are a Bipolar design. As well, they are available in 4 models from the smallest version the TF4.5 to the largest floor stander the TF8 which use twin 8" drivers in the same configuration.
