Most beautiful speakers in the world ?

[OldHvyMec]

I’ve never understood speaker builders wanting to pose with their product.

After being a mechanic for way too long, it's a sure-fire way to lose a sale. At least for me. There is ugly, and then there is damn ugly.
Me and this guy's speakers/cabinets are more alike than not. LOL

Was Mathew Polk in his lab coat the first, or were there others before him?

SGR CX4F active speakers. The current generation all have analogue active crossovers, but I believe the next generation will have DSP crossovers. Everything is designed and manufactured in-house, except for the drivers which are manufactured in another facility in Melbourne - Lorantz Audio.

What are your thoughts on sound/performance?

Would you like to buy a pair of these?
They look cute and fashionable, the price is affordable, and there's a lot of information about the product — even FR published !

I love it!

In the same way, I love Plan Nine From Outer Space.

Would those have that kabuki sound that multi-driver late 60’s early ‘70’s Japanese loudspeakers were said to have had?

I'm confused. Are those multicell horn speakers actually kinda small, or is that guy huge?

He's Asian. He can't be that big.

Compression driver tweeter usually is 1" phragm BIANCO-25CD-P. Even 8-inch multioctocell is available:

But the price is also appropriate .

Another pair of mine:

Inquisidores, using Beyma NMF6W and T25M.

Mr. Duke, nothing about those speakers works in any room unless it's a sit-only room with 6-foot lids. AND then you have to look at them. I say take some Dramamine for that experience.

But posting 8907 in the right room would be outstanding. I'm not a fixed-port guy, but I bet those speakers do a great job from the bottom to 12-15KHz. (which is about the extent of my good hearing)
