Tell her it saves kitties in Africa or something.

I don’t think I have space for these and the w371a/8361s.
I can rotate I suppose, the ‘w‘s are 60 kilos each though, and these do not appear to be lightweight.

That is a lot more utilitarian than expected, I thought it would be a lot fancier to appeal to the audiophile market. I kinda love it, though there's still no chance this is going to be anywhere near my budget.

It says they are eco friendly on the website, so…

I’ll take those Genelec’s totally for free if they are in the way

Tom does post here occasionally, I am hopeful he will when appropriate tell us all about it.

Not too shabby, frequency and phase,

To divorce you? For sure she will if you put those things in your house. I would.

I find them more beautiful than the JBL M2

Damning with faint praise eh?

Seriously, they look obscene, but I'd have a pair for sure. Could dispose of all my amplifiers to finance the purchase. They do need to be hidden behind a large curtain though, in a very solid and very large room.

They are the sort of speaker Jordan Belfort would have bought back in the day.

They kind of look like the evil uncle of the Pixar lamp:

Or an industrial remake of this Dutch icon:

Refreshing when forms follows function it probably has to look this way to function as designed .

Honestly it's so large that a dedicated room is a must so in your dedicated listening space maybe look is not the main thing.

But the base part could be some nice veneer for these prices ?

Cabinet finishes are TBA at the homepage so it may be options later ?

It's so revolutionary it doesn't even have a speaker!

Love to know what the acoustic voodoo happening around the horn mouth is. Very interesting. Thanks for posting this.
