The link above is a translation of this German article.

The price of the speaker in question ("MYND") currently is 230€ on the company website.

The schematics can be found under this same link, under "Downloads & support".

Not excusing the ignorance, but if you click the link to the vendor's page from a US IP it offers to redirect you to their US page, which is completely flooded with Fender X Teufel co-branded products:

There's literally nothing but Fender co-branded products in the US. Kinda sad actually because I want this open source speaker

Brand recognition and now they can charge a bunch more because it says fender somewhere.
