Designing this 1000 watt Innersound Reference Power Amp was an exercise in “ultimate overkill”. Starting with a 1.25” thick piece of extruded aluminum, we used a C&C process to carve the faceplate. Beefy aluminum top and bottom panels were used to crush the “wrap-test”. And finally, all chassis connectors were hidden in between the custom heat sinks to give the appearance of a single solid block of bead-blasted metal—all designed inside and out to match the modern elegance and power of the Innersound Kaya electrostatic loudspeaker.

The Innersound Kaya Reference was given top honors in the 2004 Great Design Issue of Architectural Digest in the category of “Best Home Speaker Design”. In the design of the Kaya, I combined 74” tall cherry & bird’s eye maple sides wings, custom extruded bead-blasted aluminum trim with a composite UltraStat panel that was painted in an automotive finish by a Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance restoration competitor. Having the opportunity to oversee production on various elements was also crucial to ensuring the high quality end result. Other speakers were designed to complement the product line including: the Kachina (a smaller floor stander), and the Tehya center channel with adjustable UltraStat panel. High-res
