"Made for THUNDERSTORM, the SEQUAL TO BONESTORM! "
Some of you might remember the Bonestorm game in earlier Simpsons. As a kid I would have loved these speakers

There’s no accounting for taste!

I like the Kef Muon. Just don't want any creepy old man popping out from behind the speakers if I am doing critical listening in an anechoic chamber.

That's the mad tech guy from Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs.

That should be in the drinking game!

I just saw a pair of these Avalon Saga's yesterday, in a private setup, and these are beautifull and actually not that bad sounding. But definitly not worth the 350K the owner paid for it. The picture is from internet, the owner did not want me to take pictures. They are snake oil priced, but i'm sure t hey don't measure that bad, when Amir or Erin would do it. Still, better can be had for a fraction of the price of course...

Are these the new AI transgender models ? If so, I'll take a set please.

These were mentioned earlier in this thread, but after watching a B&W factory tour and speaker assembly video, the 801 D4 Signature is more attractive to me than before. Yes it is overpriced, as are many of the interesting speakers in this thread, but still it is one more fascinating example that good people all around the world dream about something "better" and work hard to make their version of it a reality.

Recently saw and heard these at a local audio show. The photos do not do them justice.

From Consonance (Opera Audio), fairly well known Chinese company, also market turntables, tonearms and electronics. I'd like to hear some JBL Everest/K2 speakers and their equivalents, like this, someday.

Lowther Hegeman. Because this is Lowther I assume there is one single full-range driver doing all the work here.

I've seen that Acora speaker the rounds, from Axpona. Admittedly: a little bit cool.

However I don't like speakers made of granite. To me they look cheesy and I can't help but be reminded of kitchen or bathroom counter-tops.

Agreed.

A local audio store sells both B&W and KEF lines, including high end models from both. To me the KEF, e.g. the Reference models, look like basically nicely designed and contemporary. But also a bit "off the shelf" or factory cookie cutter in quality. Next to them, the B&W finish (and over all look design IMO) look far higher quality and more bespoke. Closer to audio jewellery. Which admittedly, I get a kick out of.

Recency bias is forcing my hand to the Revel Performa 3 M106 in piano black. I'm obsessed.

Nice looking speakers for sure.

They look nice but he changes speakers every few months , so I'm not sure how long they'll last with him

What a waste of cash.
The speakers make the room look quite small. What a design train wreak.
