KRONOS DISCOVERY 

Kronos developed a wholly new way to attach the chassis to the suspension system,

using completely different soft clamping methods.

This treats the chassis more like the soundbox of a guitar or a violin, because in that case,

how it’s held dictates, to some degree, how it sounds.
