I don't like listening on HP, but comparing to above post, it would save a lot of hassle

BMR as a combo midrange/tweeter I'm guessing?

These are real (and very expensive) speakers somehow.

And imho very ugly too (not to talk about the acoustic disadvantages).

Not sure if Weckstrom has been mentioned before...

i actually find them kind of pleasing to the eye, but i wouldn't wonder about a hefty pricetag especially due to all the material waste from cutting out so many boards
i do wonder about the resonant properties of them boxes, tho



i'd probably prefer to go log, if it had to be all-natural:

I'll bet that the cabinets are probably very inert.
I've gotta admit, I kind of like the looks of those!
They could be built out of plywood scraps/offcuts to good effect, I would think, too.
The drivers look like pretty serious ones -- so, up to a point, I could forgive a premium price tag on 'em.

These aren't that expensive at €500. Would love to see measurements.

That's Alessandro Schiavi with his Karis Wave. Very nice sounding speaker.

If you have to take only two books on a desert island, these should be the ones:

A pair of vintage Videoton Musical Encyclopaedia D93, with look and size of regular encyclopedias. Videoton was big Hungarian audio/video company (it is active now, but in other OEM areas).
Inner works:

One 6.5cm cone tweeter and two 9cm "woofers" in sealed enclosure. Crossover consist of only one capacitor for the tweeter.
Nice little connectors on the back side:

Measured anechoic frequency response for both loudspeakers:

Not bad, after two (known!) total repairings (badly burned voice coils on all drivers). These are genuine bookshelf loudspeaker, so they must be set up on a book-shelf (preferably between other books), against the wall, so the frequency response below 1 kHz will nicely fill up in level to match mid-high band.

Sonus Faber ex3ma is unusual and expensive ($40,000 a pair)...

Ok, I'll say I think it is ugly too. It was limited edition model so just as well IMO.
