Imagine your friends’ expressions when you passingly mention, “…and these speakers here are from the 19th-century.” Pause for a moment before your ease their perplexed states with the explanation that your pair of Fern & Roby Cube Speakers were constructed using heart pine beams salvaged from a late 19th-century Virginia factory.
Siting atop recycled cast aluminum constructed from scrap metal from Fern & Roby’s own machine shop, each 9” W x 9” D x 11” H minimalist reclaimed wood cube enclosure house an Alpair 7 Gold Driver by MarkAudio, a favorite amongst audiophile DIY speaker makers.
Gold plated binding post wire terminals are located on the rear of each speaker.
Every other component besides the driver is otherwise made in-house, making this bookshelf speaker notable for their pleasing minimalist design, historical local material sourcing, and the selective manufacturing process which makes Fern & Roby Cube Speakers resonate as audio equipment and sustainably made design objects.
Heart pine is inherently rich in resin and can be left without a protective finish, making it a low maintenance audio component.
We’re also eagerly awaiting Fern & Roby’s upcoming cast-iron and salvaged heart pine turntable topped with a luxurious bronze platter and Rega tone arm, an ideal accompaniment to a pair of Cube Speakers.
