A co-worker of mine got the HKs, had them on his desk at work. I don’t remember how they sounded, but looks alone, next to his iMac they were the talk of the office.
Looks similar to a design I've been sketching up lately as a subwoofer for center stage placement to minimize cabinet reflections.When I was shopping for my first full blown HT system, these speakers were getting some press because they had done well in a magazine's speaker shootout ...

Too be honest, I was pretty infatuated with these speakers and was seriously considering purchasing them for the HT room. Their shape, however, presented some placement challenges, so I didn't pull trigger. Good thing too. Here's the Soundstage measurements for the Norh 6.9 - an upscale version of the speaker pictured above ...
Dodged a bullet I think.
Subwoofer cabinets do not suffer from diffraction effects because of the wavelength of bass frequencies.Looks similar to a design I've been sketching up lately as a subwoofer for center stage placement to minimize cabinet reflections.
Disappointing to see this brand doing a conventional box for their subwoofer.
They screwed the pooch on that opportunity.
A subwoofer placed in between two main speakers like anything else (ie audio rack) can compromise the front soundstage.Subwoofer cabinets do not suffer from diffraction effects because of the wavelength of bass frequencies.
I would love to see measurements.
Frequency response: 28Hz - 22kHz
Sensitivity: 90 dB/2.83V/m
Impedance: 4Ω

Those are the clear winners of the year 2020 for me I have looked on the Sony product page and i just can´t believe my eyes- is there a new Sony product development department, with all employees on some new sort of drugs? It just looks so wrong on all the pictures, that it is really very, very hard to imagine that somebody would pay 6000 usd for this, whatever the sound quality (yes, that is the price that they are planning to sell for).Sony's brand new nearfield speakers SA-Z1. I would love to try them one day:

I have the Planets! I will miss the aesthetics when I'll replace them... They sound nice as well and can be used as a very decent center (I know the angle is weird but the photo was taken for the guy who made the coffee table)
I don't agree. It's because you look on the wrong side. Actually it's a TV and the monitor is on the back sideThose look profoundly unappealing.

And the ads. My gawd, my eyes, the ads. One of the more ad filled, advertising driven places on the web you will ever run across. They have no shame.They review the more esoteric stuff on 6moons. Certainly an entertaining site, worth checking out for the prose and the pretty pictures.
