Introduction: General Information about Stereo Dave's Creation 650 Reference Speakers and Genesis Subwoofer

Many audio designers report that they design their components by listening, making a change, perhaps as small as a resistor, and then listening again. These are the guys you want making your stereo equipment. Even mass market audio equipment can be made to compete with uber-expensive models given the same treatment.

Stereo Dave’s is one of a handful of small companies making a living by performing such modifications to CD players, DVD players and amplifiers.

For speakers, they have their very own unique design.

At the 2007 RMAF, Secrets Editor John Johnson heard a speaker very similar to the Creation 650 but this earlier version was called ‘The Slateskape’ because the enclosure was constructed from a mixture of concrete, silica, quartz and newspapers.  Not surprisingly this mixture proved to be troublesome in mass production.
