Thank you for all !! your comments. I really appreciate this. And, thanks to you, Steve. Yours Inès

"When you mix real engineering with your heart I think then you have the right recipe" - This is why Inès is the ultimate representation of top-notch engineering: It is not about the measurements alone, or the heart alone, it's the "guided heart" that makes a true engineer - it is about achieving the final result.

A lot of times when I listen to engineers talk, my eyes glaze over and what they're saying doesn't really sink in. Ines does a nice job of explaining things in an understandable fashion. She would have probably been a great teacher if she weren't a great engineer!

Wow! Just a few days ago I commented one of your other videos that the Voxativ Ampeggio was the best speakers I’ve ever heard and here you are doing an interview with their creator today. Awesome.😊

[@brucering1190]

I heard these speakers at the California Audio show in Oakland, and they were by far the standout room there. Amazing speakers.....

[@hawkins55]

Another great interviewee. Really appreciate her who obviously knows the technical side of sound reproduction and the necessity of measurements also to point out not to over-rely on measurements. She makes so much sense!

[@markstewart1807]

Love how open and genuine she is regarding design,outsourcing etc heard her drivers in Pure Audio Project speakers and loved them❤️👍

[@richelh]

Great video Steve, these in-depth interviews with the real engineers and designers behind the products is fascinating to hear from. Look forward to more of them.

[@thomasmo4334]

An excellent presentation. IMHO one of the most important characters in our hobby. Passion meets brain, covered by quality awareness of MB. Top notch!

[@mfisher702]

Great interview. Fascinating backstory to Voxativ. My PureAudioProject Trio15 Classics are already inbound with Pi-Fe drivers. Can’t wait.

I can't believe we're still at the wood and paper.

[@scottt.4596]

Wow! Love her passion for music and entrepreneurship! Looking forward to a full review of their bookshelf speakers.

[@johndaddabbo9383]

I absolutely LOVE that a born and bread Engineer at the end of the day creates with their Heart and Soul !!! (I've yet to hear any incarnation of these speakers, but am now very interested in doing so).

[@markblock8659]

Ines seems like a very genuine, nice, smart person. Good interview.

Thanks to Inez the Lowther’s been reengineered to the next level. I loved the Lowther......then the Voxativ came along and took things to the next level. Thank you so much Ms Adler for your exceptional understanding of materials.

I have met Ines on more than one occasion (I am the designer for Pietra Audio) and I must say I hold her in the highest possible regard. Indeed, understanding why Voxativ speakers (specifically the Ampeggio Due) sound so wonderful has been an interesting technical challenge for me!

[@petez4608]

Wish this one went a lot longer.

[@miguelbarrio]

What an amazing story! Inès is a TRUE engineer - engineering is not just about measuring, it is about achieving the final result. Measuring is about guiding you and uncovering things that might not be readily apparent and making product that is reliable. Her story is amazing... Thank you Inès and Steve!

[@AndyBHome]

Great interview. Inès is a good spokesperson, especially for someone who is clearly not a native English speaker!

[@isaacsykes3]

I think you've done it!! That was a great interview, from Steve the Audiophiliac!! I feel like with all the audio luminaries that you interview you could sponsor a a speaker building challenge. Take Andrew Jones and Nelson Pass vs. Sandy Gross and Paul McGowan, give them a budget, and have them build the best product they can. Have a panel of judges consisting of Steve Guttenberg or a Musician he knows;Zero Fidelity; and Gene from Audioholics. I think it would be pretty interesting
