That Karl Heinz guy certainly knows how to throw together some truly ugly looking combination finishes.

Custom finishes are available, but the price for pair of Kims even with standard finish is already over 10K€, which I think is rather steep.

 

[Petrushka]

Probably more because they are so much cheaper to tool and make than non-round ones.
Follow the money

I’ve heard the term “monkey coffin” before, but this….

That's what I think every time I see them as well, I've been told they look better in real life, but it's a low bar to improve from.

Now, that's a coffin.

Now, that's a coffin.

Wait, there are diaphragms made out of beetle skin ...

Yes, but you're just a grumpy, haggard, and brutal old man who isn't even satisfied when Uma Thurman serves him the rice, only to let Daryl Hannah poison him.
I doubt there was a decent sarcophagus up there on the mountain at such short notice. You're lucky the crows didn't eat you.

Yup. The orange ring is f*#* ugly and kills the speaker.

The Tannoys ‘gold’ thing does the same.

And is also pretentious.

It's exactly the right speaker for a president's gold-plated guest bathroom.

That made me laugh out loud.

Only a Senile Satsuma could love them.

Duntech Sovereign. I'll get a chance to listen to these next month.

What does the spinorama of that rippled mid dome look like?

Pmc is allergic to spins and data in general. Theyre like atc in that regard.
