Yes.  They really weren't concrete, though; they were some sort of dense composite.  I never saw the process but Jim explained it to me and apparently he had what can only be described as a big centrifuge that he spun the molds in while he injected the liquid composite material.  The speakers sounded very good!

IINM, Jim is deceased, but I talked with him on more than one occasion.  I always considered Jim's cabinets permanent installation since they weighed so dang much.  Didn't work for me, but I appreciated his work because I studied about, and built some, enclosures myself back in the day.

Yes, I believe Jim died several years ago.  You must be thinking of the big cabinets he made early on and yes, they would be limited in their use.  You may be right that they were some sort of concrete as well now that I think of it.  When I met him and was out at his house, he was making smaller enclosures for home theater installations...his were mounted on the walls in his living room.  Interesting guy...and very innovative.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Sadly, I didn't keep up with him so though I heard he changed some of his construction practices, I never talked with him about them - and you're right, he was both innovative and interesting, pretty much considered a genius among audiophiles.

I think this is a beautiful song and it's one of my favorites at Christmas time so I thought I'd share it.  It also has some beautiful pictures to watch as you're listening to the music.
