Those must be the ultimate speaker stands! Shame that they don't show the listening chair...

It just goes to show that the fundamentals of good sound have been known for a long time now...

I remember when a talki set was $100 large for a good set for kids. My buddy's father bought him a set of talkies and a pellet pistol and we had great fun with that stuff around age 6-7. I never got the hang of Morse Code but we tried hard...lol

Love it. I will no longer take much stock in how current speakers reviews are done. Step it up boys. Old timers making you look bad.

And additionally, the listening room was forgotten as the main propulsion of the infamous 'circle of confusion'.
