Here's a link to the firmware: https://github.com/teufelaudio/mynd-firmware I haven't been able to find PCB schematics; there's stuff here but I don't think that's it? https://support.teufel.de/hc/de/articles/26524120330258-MYND...

Why not? The download definitely contains files for defining PCBs? Although it is a bit misleading to only call it CAD.

Any idea how I could get this in the US? They only want to ship to Luxembourg.

Unfortunately no. Here is a full list of countries: https://support.teufel.de/hc/en-us/articles/22903502875282-W...

I truly love the way industrial designers think, its great that the longer a speaker is used by the customer, the lower its CO² footprint. Also really appreciate that the creators put an emphasis on its easiness of repair, especially the battery component as its usually the first one to give up in speakers. They published a tutorial on how to repair it, really appreciate them going this far for consumers

Yep, I figured it was just the files required to print the case. That's good then!

"[..] misleading to only call it CAD."

Not unusual from my experience either and it also makes sense: PCB design is a form of Computer Aided Design after all.

Teufel is a super cool company and they deservedly have won numerous awards not only for their audio quality but also their design.

As much as I applaud the idea behind the MYND and going only by the pictures from the article: It’s not a beauty.

The partially filled holes on the front make it look as if it has already accumulated some patina. The armchair designer in me can’t help thinking: If you want to go for the gritty look, do it all the way, otherwise keep it clean.
