At MetaEfficient, we view toxicity as inherently inefficient because product will ultimately pollute landfills and groundwater. So our definite of efficiency is not based on how well the product produces high-fidelity sound. We encourage manufacturers to at least accept responsibility for the life cycle of their product, and construct them in ways that allow repair and upgrade.

Cadmium or mercury does not affect the “efficiency” of a sound system. In fact, quite often components made WITH toxic substances are actually more reliable and of better construction quality. That’s why such substances were originally used in the first place. The only reason why many modern systems are now free of toxic substances cited by RoHS is due to environmental concern and legal requirements.

RoHS is a legal restriction imposed on European Union markets, so manufacturers have no choice but to avoid those toxic substances for products sold there. And although some substances banned under RoHS are still legal in North America, manufacturers are finding it easier to make a single product compliant with all the world’s markets, rather than tailoring each product for each regional market.

And really, it is nice to be environmentally conscious, even if the law does not necessarily say you must. So it is good to buy RoHS compliant products, but know that you’re not doing it for your sound quality; you’re doing it for a clean planet.

Thanks for this post – I appreciate it!

I think your readers might consider the Audoioengine A2s to stand in for separate speakers and amps. I have heard the Audioengine speakers and they are stunning. http://www.audioengineusa.com/a2_home.php
I don’t know where they are made or what of (other than the kevlar cones), but they are stunning and a bargain at $200. Add those transducers and you have a very cheap, stunning system.

Look like a great audio system but very high cost?

Nice to see audiophile stuff here.
power… modify a buttkicker system for the 0-30hz stuff
http://www.thebuttkicker.com/ for the power amp
The 1000 watt Amp is indestructable.

You are trying to develop a high-end system to play mp3s? Also: for much of these items, it is very worthwhile to buy used. Ebay is great. When you use the amplifier or speakers that have been hanging out in someone’s garage, instead of some item coming out of a factory in china, you are working one of the three Rs.
