The History of the LM Series of products:
Earlier this year our distributor in Taiwan, Lee-Ming Chang of Sound Ray Electronics, Ltd. suggested that we build chassis for ASR amplifiers,
which he also distributes. Lee-Ming first became familiar with our products as used on the Marten Design speakers,
and has been representing BDR since 2005. Always one to think a moment of insanity is a good idea, we gave the chassis a try.
Simply making a thicker version of the SL Series would not be practical due to the thickness specified [8mm].
We therefore rethought the laminate design and came up with something completely different, with materials
we had never used before. We finished the chassis just in time for a show, and tested only after shipment.
It turned out to be good. Very good. But it could be better.
So after several months of experimentation with laminates and shapes, we are proud to introduce the LM Series
of products. In contrast to our previous Signature Series, which were essentially as impervious to vibration
as possible, the LM Series dissipates vibration extremely efficiently. This is how we have achieved
improved performance at a lower cost. We have tried this avenue previously a number of times going
back over a decade, but we were unable to find the combination of materials that worked.
Regarding the name, we had designated the panels during testing as LM panels, so we would not confuse
them with other pieces. When we realized just how good these parts would be,
there was no question we would name them after Lee-Ming, the man who inspired them.
