Gonna need some felt for that ledge reflection...
Reminds me of these:
How did Poppa and Momma do that?
such a depressingly expensive use of off the shelf drivers in a completely unoriginal way- at 218k where's the tech. ooh, it's made of cement. just offensive really.Acora granite speakers. $218,000. From the Florida show also. These are the guys that bought Audio Research.

A mix between a Minion and Microsoft Office Clippy.Photo from a report on the Florida International Audio Expo. "A new company out of Florida named subDrum was offering up speakers built from drum kits!"

What vendor/model are these?
Industrial sized.
I'm note sure granite is cement lolsuch a depressingly expensive use of off the shelf drivers in a completely unoriginal way- at 218k where's the tech. ooh, it's made of cement. just offensive really.
Hehe. Granite is one of the hardest rocks going. I come from a region where the mountains are made of solid granite and a big mountain is called Granite Mountain...LoL.. It's hard!I'm note sure granite is cement lol

oops, sorry, thought it was faux granite like Corian. Either way, where's the technology in making a speaker housing inert simply by making it ludicrously heavy?I'm note sure granite is cement lol
It has to do with the modulus of elasticity if my memory serves me correct going back to a study about 30 years ago.oops, sorry, thought it was faux granite like Corian. Either way, where's the technology in making a speaker housing inert simply by making it ludicrously heavy?
measurable as a material stiffness sure, but that reduces audible resonances that can't be eliminated many other ways? I'd need to see data...It has to do with the modulus of elasticity if my memory serves me correct going back to a study about 30 years ago.
I was interested decades ago when stone or aggregate bonded into a solid was not used for speaker cabinets and I was interested in possibly starting up a business and making this sort of stuff. I decided that I had other interests and that stone is just too much is many ways to take on as a mainline for my future. I would like to see the data too. I do think though that a super hard stone like solid granite does have properties that are conducive to speaker cabinet improvement. I've been around granite extensively and worked with it manually and it is so tough and damp it is amazing. That it is being implemented in speaker cabinets now is kinda exciting.measurable as a material stiffness sure, but that reduces audible resonances that can't be eliminated many other ways?
