1. When the stones talk to us

2. "Having to hand the everlasting soapstone that has seen the birth of the world and mankind made us urge on developing nothing less than –the Best Stone Loudspeaker in the World"  KeijoMyllyoja(General Manager - Designer)

3. After years of sound research and technical development, the Finnish company Prime Loudspeakers has certified objectively the quality of its sound through technical studies of Aalto University (Helsinki University of Technology, Finland). Prime Loudspeakers built speakers with stone cabinets carving directly the stone. In their projects, Prime incorporates the latest technology in transducers of the Norwegian company "Seas".

5. Advantages of the stone regard to the results obtained: • Thermal resistance to cold and heat of the soapstone • The reproduction of sound on the box is always the same • because the soapstone is a "dead" material. • Do not use products that harm the environment during their manufacture, • nor to preserve the box and its sound. • Paint the speakers in an ecological way without altering their flat response. • Any future improvements in transducers and components may be • adjusted back to the stone boxes without having to make a great investment.
