Most of the pics in this thread make me wonder why monkeys were allowed to evolve and create a technological society

It’s says something about the state of speaker design it’s in dire need of some scientific rigour ?

Some folks like to whine about that Tooles and Olives research may not be complete in all aspects and that the BBC research is getting old hat .

Just fast forward this tread a couple of times . And be happy with what we actually have

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

$40,000 two way bookshelf with a mere 40Hz extension(-3? -6? -10?).

Just Voxativ shenanigans. Big full range drivers like Lowther.

That’s kinda cool actually. I wonder how low it controls directivity with that super wide baffle? Expandingcool on the Grimm LS1 idea.

I like the design of those, reminds me of something out of Prometheus. Would go well with my ancient Alien spaceship command throne.

This thread has more humor than the humor thread. Jim

Some of us don't have a very well developed sense of serious.

OK, but why put the speaker connections 3 feet off floor level?

I meant the Speaker design, not how the owner ran his cable. The connectors on the back of this 7 foot tall speaker. Are 3 feet above the ground plane.

What's the point of expensive cabling if nobody can see it ?
