"....perhaps the most honest speakers I've heard. Terry's offerings, with their single driver--no crossover design, offer a seamless presentation that include sweet high frequencies and surprisingly satisfying bass."

I've never in my life enjoyed speakers as much as these (especially a month later). I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Terry Cain is a dedicated master cabinetmaker, utilizing the old world traditions of joinery and hand-finishing. His original dream was to build loudspeakers when he first founded Cain & Cain in 1981. To fulfill this dream, he has devoted innumerable waking hours over the last 4 1/2 years studying traditional speaker design, and more specifically, Japanese cabinet design. Terry views loudspeakers in terms of building a musical instrument, not unlike certain other manufacturers. However, Cain & Cain loudspeakers differ from the rest of the crowd with the use of natural solid woods and natural wood-ply cabinetry... not a speck of MDF, HDF, or inferior fiberboard is used. There are no metal screws, brads, or rivets holding the cabinet together... just true old-fashioned precision joinery and heirloom-quality construction. Again, a master craftsman's product.

All Cain & Cain models use single-driver technology from Fostex of Japan. Every driver model chosen is mated to a cabinet  specifically designed to reveal the best of what each particular driver complement has to offer. All Cain & Cain speaker cabinets are true rear horn-loaded designs (in the Studio series), where the driver is at the terminus of the horn. The Abby is a ported, modified Voight pipe design, while the TQWT model is a true tapered quarter-wave tube or pipe. Front baffle openings are precisely measured for these exact terminae, which translates into an unusually coherent sonic rendering devoid of any "honking" or horn resonance common to most horn-loaded designs. Cain & Cain uses the newest Fostex drivers that display a wonderfully open, smooth, extended, fast, and immediate sonic presentation that must be experienced. Additionally, all loudspeakers models use Cardas internal wiring, solder, flux and binding posts.
