Dusty Chalk Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Jesus, really? Those are gorgeous. Quote
Yikes Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 And these were absolutely amazing at this years CES - Perfect 8 "The Force" a cool $300,000 If I had the money these would be on my list. Quote
Guest sachu Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 A close friend of mine builds these. Man i heard those speakers at RMAF last year..the guys there were awesome.. I couldn't believe that it was a passive 3 way design. Symposioum or something the name was. Complete with Manley tape reel. That was some sweet music i heard from those speakers...and strangely I was told that speakers wasn't their main business. Quote

Duggeh Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 So the monolith is a mono setup? The monolith is a single element point source 1:1 air coupled zero point to audio transducer with the capacity to render mono, stereo, quad, 5.1 or binaural signal from any room position. Sadly, you need at least 1.81jiggawatts into an 8 ohm nominal capacitive load in order to avoid distortion caused by a lack of bridging capability over the zero point matrix. Quote
deepak Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Paradoxically monkey's are also attracted to the speaker and may pose a problem. Quote

Looser101 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Focal Grande Utopia EM: There used to be a magazine, I think it was called Audio -- they had the greatest gear porn. Very cool Video. So... near the end, is that "Golden Ears" guys drawing a frequency response curve by ear? Quote
Cankin Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Very cool Video. So... near the end, is that "Golden Ears" guys drawing a frequency response curve by ear? I'm wondering if that is the development phase or each unit is heard by some golden ears as part of QC Quote
crappyjones123 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 anyone know the first song in the intro of the above posted video? Quote
Looser101 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 anyone know the first song in the intro of the above posted video? It's in the credits at the end.

robm321 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Very cool Video. So... near the end, is that "Golden Ears" guys drawing a frequency response curve by ear? I'm just wondering how they made my cheap laptop speakers sound all audiophile with that soundtrack Video was very well done. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) I didn't get the feeling that it was just one song, but the credits only list one song. I liked all of them. And yes, I have the album wishlisted.I'm just wondering how they made my cheap laptop speakers sound all audiophile with that soundtrack That's what I call audiophile music -- that's why they play that kind of music -- that sparse, jazz trio shit -- at all the audiophile conventions. It makes any system sound good. Edited July 25, 2009 by Dusty Chalk Quote
