The problem for many high-end manufacturers is, that they don't really sell large volumes of these 25k speakers. No way that you can afford a wave soldering setup or even have a large enough batch to get it contracted. So manual soldering and even there I'd think some of them might have people doing all the assembly, not specializing in soldering because you know, hiring someone to do just soldering and then having one day of work for them each month doesn't really work... Of course you can make sure your does-everything worker is well trained and some certainly do but for some I'd bet it's the engineers themselves actually building the devices.
