Beautiful and impractical. Therefore, want!

Such pretty cabinets. Unfortunate about those dynamic drivers though

Can't we all learn to live together?

Those are stunning!

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.

Primarily Vibration Control

I have a bunch of Symposium equipment in my system. An Isis rack, Roller Blocks, and Ultra Platforms. The stuff works really well.

So the monolith is a mono setup?

[Dusty Chalk]

Mono, yet dipole.

[Duggeh]

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.

Paradoxically monkey's are also attracted to the speaker and may pose a problem.

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?

I'm wondering if that is the development phase or each unit is heard by some golden ears as part of QC

anyone know the first song in the intro of the above posted video?

It's in the credits at the end.

I'm just wondering how they made my cheap laptop speakers sound all audiophile with that soundtrack

Video was very well done.

[Dusty Chalk]

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.

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
