Don't let these guys unpack your speakers....

What on earth are they doing?

Why not put the stand flat and then place the speaker on it???

 

[TonyJZX]

i would like to think that the speaker standing on the plinth is secured by more than hopes and dreams... and a slight divot

After a lifetime in logistics, I prefer my own methods and personnel.

the ONLY reason this makes sense is if there was a need to secure the speaker from the bottom with some kind of clamp or bolt that goes in from the bottom of the plinth

but since there is none???

 

[BrokenEnglishGuy]

i see no problem, the speaker is fine

 

[JSmith]

Very odd... maybe trying to make it look more difficult than it needed to be for the video, makes them look more expensive.

So $100000 for a speaker that looks like a snail... ok, no thanks.

Where’s the speaker?

Bizarre way of setting it. Looks like it could have slided out of the base when they set it in 90 deg.hor.

It occurred to me that the nautilus isn't a very large speaker as I always thought because of the pricetag. -Which is just stupid.

They didn't use blutack on the base where the snail rests in the divot. Amateurs!

The ways internet can ruin the mind... I expected a major disaster

 

[waynel]

Do you think they are available for lifting speakers onto the Klippel?

 

[TonyJZX]

they will only lift Bowers & Wilkins and really, no one wants that.

 

[Berlin]

The speaker is smaller than I thought...

P.S.
If it sounds like a typical B&W speaker, then maybe the blue colour could help distract the listener....

May be they realized it after picking up the speaker and came near to it. Should have asked third person to help with base.
regards.
addition : looks like could easily topple with some force. why not have base fixed to speaker.

What could have been an excellent disaster video is now nothing more than clickbait

… what a waste of opportunity, what a waste of some perfectly horrible B&W speakers …

It helps keep people from measuring them I think...

if it did topple over... 'nothing of value would be lost'

this is from someone who truly likes B&W at least before he met ASR!
