@Pearljam5000 , I appreciate your efforts to find and post pictures of so many different and unusual speakers.

Thanks
I appreciate your kind words

That’d be way too many shiny drivers staring at me, for my taste.

I'd be a lot more appreciative if they were posted with a make and model without someone having to ask every time!

Can we please all find a way to deliver one of these to Photonicinduction?

I too like aesthetic beauty of these wood-finish floor standers, but I still always concern about the "physical stability"... Please refer to my post #3,056 on this thread.

We can see/look so many beautiful and elegant tallboy-style floor-standing speakers on this really enjoyable thread.

Many people are living in diastrophism countries/areas, however, including myself in Japan, and I am (we are) always much concerned about the physical stability of these speakers especially against lateral vibration (i.e. horizontal shaking) given by an earthquake.

1. The heavier the total weight,
2. The lower the height of gravity-center from the supporting base,
3. The wider the surface area of the supporting base (area covered by the supporting spikes/legs),
"the better" the stability against lateral vibration.

We can usually find/calculate on the catalog or spec-sheet total weight and supporting base area, but we do not always know the height of gravity center; we need to speculate/guess the height of the gravity center.

My observations on these speakers always include this "physical stability" perspective.

That’s too bad to have to actually consider earthquakes with whatever you buy!

Fortunately, not a problem for us in Toronto.

Still a slim floor stander has to be made stable. My very slim Joseph audio speakers come with fairly wide outriggers. And I further built a granite platform for them, which is itself spiked into the carpet. The result is very stable speakers:

Pretty much a copy of the Anthony Gallo design speakers. I actually have a pair of gold ones myself (Gallo) doing surround duties and my old plasma TV set up.

Orb started after Gallo forced his partner out, whom then started Orb.

Cool. My brother-in-law has the same speakers. They are very nice.

What Speakers That Cost $370,000 Sound Like

What does it sound like when you listen to a speaker that’s roughly the price of the home you put it in? The Wilson Chronosonic XVX is a $370,000 audio supertower of seven drivers stacked atop one another producing a spectrum of sound beyond the range of human hearing—literally providing more...
