Adire Audio manufacturing only OEM?

The Adire Audio forum for customer support on CarStereos.org has been shut down and in a not so surprising move it looks like Adire Audio may quite possibly be moving out of the home and car audio markets to pursue their OEM manufacturing full force. The XBL^2 patent that they hold is still a highly sought after commodity, so it is no surprise that they make most of their revenue from OEM manufacturing.

On a side note, it is very likely that Hemp Acoustics will pick up where Adire left off with the home and car audio drivers since they are now selling products with the patented XBL^2 technology. Hemp Acoustics is also a partner with Adire Audio, so it would only make sense that they continue to sell the XBL^2 drivers.
