In addition to their raw driver family, Hemp Acoustics is also involved in a number of speaker projects. The speaker shown is from a new company Tympanik and uses the new hemp coax 8" driver -- high efficiency, low excursion and full range sound. There's also another model using the 8" whizzer full range. The cabinet is molded out of hemp, unlike a traditional cabinet using separate pieces of mdf or ply. Production isn't set yet, but prices will be somewhere in the $2000-3500 range depending on drivers.

Right, Hemp Acoustics' own fully open baffle speaker. It wasn't ready for prime time when I was in the room, but the technology is pretty interesting. 8" full-range and a 15" bass driver in an S-shaped baffle. Folding the baffle in an S shape gives a virtual baffle width of 5 feet or so, which is monstrously huge. In open baffle designs, the wider the baffle the deeper the bass. Check out the next page for a shot of the back end of the bass portion sans driver. Also next page, Hemp bookshelf with their Extremis 6.8 driver and ribbon tweeter.
