One of the early companies to play with source array designs.
Some of their late 80s early 90s speakers (Kappas etc) were dubbed amp killers because they could drop into the 2 ohm or less range.
Most guys used the early Bob Carver amps to drive them since they were built like tanks with huge heat sinks and could deal with low impedance drivers.
