Most audio companies grow by adding models. A tweeter here, a subwoofer there, a lineup that fills a catalogue and a warehouse.
We went the other way. Nadia machined aerospace parts for a decade; Theo tuned instruments and then loudspeakers. We kept asking the same question in the shop after hours: how much of a speaker is there because it sounds better, and how much is there because it sells better?
When we stripped away everything that was only there to sell: the second driver, the plastic cabinet, the model above and the model below, what was left measured better than the speakers we took apart to learn from. So we built that, and only that. The Sable One is the whole company.
Two people. One bench.

Enclosure & machining
Ten years cutting aerospace aluminium taught her that a part is only as quiet as its worst tolerance. She writes every toolpath the Sable One is milled from.

Acoustics & voicing
A piano tuner before he was an acoustician. He voices each production pair by ear against the reference, then confirms it on the jig, in that order.
