And they are proud of their measurements... I think I'd try again before I shared this with the world, but maybe I'm just old school.

Yikes!

Looks very EQ'able, at least for microphone measurement position!

Of course we don't know what the polar radiation looks like and I expect it gets pretty bad at the crossover.

Then, as you tame the 850Hz peak, the 1,100Hz suck out will probably grow. I doubt the response is all that well behaved.

I loathe novelty speakers almost as ugly these speakers camouflaged as rocks or ikea’s lamp speakers

I see them as a bit furniture capable of playing background music in a fancy office or such
They have their use and function for some and the cost is insignificant for them

How many times do people need to ask you to post brands and/or models of these pictures? Do you even know how many times you've reposted the same content? Dude, seriously, spend one extra minute and make the thread mildly searchable for content.

Enough that it’s a drinking game!


Everybody, that’s one drink for the question, and 3 shots for the complaints.

People with a sense of entitlement really are the very best kind of people. You’re perfectly free to start your own thread or simply ignore this one. Anyone who is genuinely interested in the speakers can find them within seconds — in this case, PMC speakers.

I’d never owned full-range speakers before; I bought these because a friend made them. I was drawn in by their appearance—which I find truly beautiful—and the sound is interesting.

Are these 7 ports the same length?)..
