Monkey Coffins Anyone?

[Ron Texas]

It's a 2 way called "The Borg" from Fink Team with a 1st order crossover for only 24,900 Euros.

You're behind the times, Ron. Audiophile "onions" are available for those who need more panache than the almost universally admired TungSol 6SN7GTB's that sell for $40/pair.

--------------

You can buy a pair of the older Shuguang "onion" globe 6SN7's for about $120 from Icon Audio...

...although one reviewer said the lack of adequate interior structure support make them highly microphonic - or...

for only $375, you can get a pair of "Grade A" gold-base globe Sunguang 6SN7-SE's from PsvaneTubes.com...

I was thinking about The Onion. https://www.theonion.com/ If you have never seen this before don't blame me if it causes mental illness.

It's a bargain compared to their $65k WM-4

LOL - Just as people have quoted and linked to The Onion, not realizing it was satire, an audiophile onion would have a hard time standing out from some supposedly serious audiophile mags and websites.

Edit: After reading some of the PF review, if I didn't know better, I might think it was indeed, an "audiophile onion" with this kind of gibberish:

One could also hear, however, the Borg model's own specific features. They have quite a hard "push"—something that closely follows the strike. I have heard this type of a musical message, although not such a good one, from JBL loudspeakers that also have paper membranes (e.g. the S3900 model ). The push is better differentiated in Karl-Heinz's loudspeakers, thanks to which their sound is deeper and denser, but still fast. The imaging of these loudspeakers focuses on larger planes, without clearly detailing them. Everything is there, it is real high-end, but it is going in the direction of "adjusting" the message and not towards analysis.

I am quite happy with monkey coffins but they are a $400 pair of BIC RTR-EV15s...

Especially with a name like Borg.

That hits home, especially because I spend a lot of time looking at charts of economic and business news.

"What has been used in the Borg model is a complex sophisticated Linkwitz-Riley 4th order crossover with time delay between two sections."

My mistake. With a name like Borg, who cares?

Isn't the National Funk Congress is more topical here?

Wait, so you are saying Stereophile magazine isn't being sarcastic?

Exactly, it's not going to be on my shopping list. Partner with Schiit for more effect.

 

[Biblob]

I do find them to be very attractive looking though.

Fink Team and The Borg. Is this a spoof? Most people will not have a monkey to bury. These are proper dog coffins.

Hits a little close to home I bet.
