This is great. Who did this?

Can get the same woofer in the march Audio Sointuvas including the passive radiators for under $4000 pr, so Eu 9980 each is a complete deal breaker.

Dunno. Found it using Google.

I just don't see the point. It's bigger than most floorstanders incl. the stand (597 x 1196 x 520 mm) yet only a 2-way speaker with one 6.5" woofer.
Also in terms of design - sure, it's nice that it's not just another black box for that kind of money, but I wouldn't call it good-looking either, it's kind of awkward like they didn't know what they wanted to go with and just did everything.

Sometimes high end speakers look awkward just to be different, to set themselves apart from the hoi polloi.

I don't buy that low end FR with a 18cm driver. Would love to see these bench - tested.

A good looking speaker from when good design was rather the norm than a sanctuary extra: https://braunaudio.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/braun-L420-nussbaum-furnier-light.jpg

Interesting design choice of making it triangular, but it will create worse diffraction.....

 

[Godataloss]

Seriously...those are nice drivers that Bruno came up with. But if that poor little thing tries to make substantial bass, the resulting cone motion will make enough phase modulation intermod that all the driver work is pointless.

Claimed 35 hz. Someone is dreaming

Maybe. Although I doubt the target demographic even knows what diffraction is. Or cares.

The custom wooden stands are very tasteful. That's a spicy price to pay to keep the wives happy, though.

I daresay WAF has tripped up many a would-be audiophile.

They almost seem to be going for negative WAF.

Hahaha, so true. Genelec; ending marriages since 1978.

 

[cavedriver]

...Oh no, these won't.

MSRP is 9980€... Piece.

they might look good but for those components that price is NOT justified. Sorry, nope.

 

[fpitas]

i imagine if your stuff isn't pushing 10,000 Euros, people like 6 Moons just ignore it.

 

[fineMen]

The specimen here--the stands look a bit saggy, ol' soft and voluminous below the unexpectedly small, desirably once-active part. The struts look folded in. I imagine the stands, due to their huge surface area in particular, to smell of waxy wood polish. On the other hand, the sensitve parts are covered up by some non-blocking tarpaulin to maintain the fun.

To me that doesn't look much like 'Danish Design'. DD was always thrifty, economical to the bones. It was meant not only to look but to actually be so effective. What can one say about the commercial offer in question?

Driver surrounds are hideous.
