Dutch & Dutch 15C Discussion

[MKR]

Well... makes no sense until they release the sub module that these sit on, effectively making them floor standers with enough deep bass to crack the foundation of most houses.

Not sure if they plan to release a sub module or not for this big boy. But I wouldn’t be surprised.

Or just design darn floorstanders. Makes zero sense to me to have such a massive stand mount.

Possibly to allow studios to hang them on walls or from ceilings like the 8Cs.

Studio U-Bracket - per pair

U bracket for 8c studio is made of black powder-coated steel and can easily cope with the weight of the 8c either pole, ceiling, or wall-mounted. Holes are fitted to cater for industries standard clamps or pole mount adapters.

Yeah, I had same thought further up in the thread, but these things are massive. Those will need to be some very serious brackets and ceiling/walls they connect in to! … and good luck actually lifting and positioning them in such a configuration, need a crane

In terms of studio monitors there are much bigger available although generally made to order and tend to be soffit mounted in a studio. Here's a Genelec version with 2 x 18" bass drivers. Approx $35,000 US each.

• Height: 37-3/4" (960 mm)
• Width: 46-1/2" (1180 mm)
• Depth: 25-5/8" (650 mm)

Didn't fully realised how big they were.

They're gonna crush a child or two.

Proving that there's an upside to everything...

Well, then the whole idea of cardioid dispersion is overrated.

Its an incremental gain, but a gain none the less.

Tentative price is $100,000.

Reminds me of the Summas I bought off of Earl Geddes in 2008

I believe this photo is from 2005? Earl Geddes on the left and Duke LeJeune on the right iirc:

Tentative price is $100,000.

Most brands need an unobtainable level of cost to anchor the consumers expected cost at a high level. 45k speakers are a bargain compared to 100k.

Tentative price is $100,000.

Every so often i learn a fact that helps unburden me of some subconscious anxiety.
Knowing that this is the price frees me from the burden of worrying whether I can afford the 15Cs. I can't.
Phew! Everything is fine, now.
