Feastrex aims to reproduce music as beautifully as possible. We strive for that quintessential level of fidelity that communicates the full emotional impact of the music to the listener’s heart. Our business is all about facilitating more nearly perfect communication between the listener and the composer/performer: the composer's intentions for the musical experience, the interpretative sensibilities of the performers, and even the atmosphere of the recording venue must be conveyed to the listener with the most perfect fidelity possible. In that sense we are translators, and calling our units “transducers” is apropos. They are the media through which we translate the received electronic signal back into the purest, most faithfully reproduced music possible. We can do things that are practically impossible for mass market manufacturers. For example, a tremendous amount of labor goes into the manufacture of our cones, and the uniquely formulated Japanese paper is handmade by an artisan who is on the level of “living national treasure.” Thus our cones cannot be successfully copied, much less mass-produced. We also feel that the unique technologies (patent pending) in our highly efficient magnetic circuits raise the state of the art to unprecedented heights. Although we endeavor to rationalize production as much as is practical, each driver is nevertheless built entirely by hand because this is essential to ensure that each unit embodies the love, passion, sincerity, and dedication that we bring to our art.

The brand name Feastrex is a double play on words. Besides incorporating the concepts of “feast” and “rex,” since everyone working in audio today stands on the shoulders of giants, we wanted the name of our brand here in the Far East to pay a nod to the legacy of the great audio achievements of yesteryear, of which Western Electric’s Westrex brand is a classic example. We see ourselves as working in the same spirit as the early pioneers of high-fidelity audio to provide musical feasts for the kings of the present age -- our customers. Our products seek to overcome the constraints of space and time in interpersonal aesthetic communication. Masterful interpretations of great musical compositions, performed in superb acoustical environments and faithfully recorded, deserve to be played back with utmost fidelity in our listening rooms. As lovers of beautiful sound and music we owe it to ourselves, as well as to the creators of our music, to seek maximum beauty and fidelity in sound reproduction, using equipment that will not inhibit or diminish in any way the music’s effects upon our hearts. The composers and performing artists have a message to communicate, and we at Feastrex see our mission as delivering that message in its original full and unadulterated glory. Our first commercial efforts are the transducers and loudspeakers in our Dimension Series. The series name reflects our desire to achieve, through our music reproduction, virtual travel through time and space, in order to “be there, then” even while “being here, now.” Music has the power to reach into the deep reaches of our hearts and instantly, effortlessly draw out things that surprise us. It can remind us of things that we had forgotten about ourselves, or evoke images and scenes that fill us with a sense of wonder. And it can point to worlds that do not yet exist, except perhaps in our dreams. Listening to music has a passive aspect (the music works on us) but it revitalizes us and prepares and stimulates us for productive, creative activity. But much of the power of music is in its subtler aspects, and it takes a special breed of loudspeaker to truly set music’s full power free. That is the kind of loudspeaker we seek to create. “The proof is in the hearing!” We hope you will avail yourself of an opportunity to listen to our loudspeakers, and hear for yourself what makes them different from the others. We are confident that at least some listeners will find our loudspeakers strike a chord in their hearts as no others have. We eagerly look forward to being granted an opportunity to serve the needs of such users. Yukihito Akiyama,Ph.D, President IBI Co., Ltd.
