Here’s an excerpt:

”Being as frank as I was first review around I was very sceptical about these types of audio tweaks being pretty sceptical until I tried the previous tweak from Coconut Audio, the Vibradome Blue Star, the placing of which on several audio components made an easily audible difference.”

Maybe he’s just not a native thought-haver?

Oh no, did you just reproduce his work without his written permission?

A paltry 1.5 mil.

Jeff, Mike, Stretch?

I guess Kharma is indeed a bitch!

How did they get away with calling it Veryron? Didn't Bugatti object??

[HiWire]

Apparently Veyron is the also the name of a river in Switzerland... perhaps they had to pay to license it?

Here's some porn from me.

Just got the new tops for my subs. Each has a FaitalPro HF1440 + 18sound XR1464C horn and four ScanSpeak 15WU midwoofers. Amplification and filtering done by a Hypex FA253 plate amp. Sounds absolutely killer. Sadly, the amp for the big subs seems to be dying, so I'm listening to the tops only. Luckily, they go down to lower thirties. The resulting area of the four midwoofers exceeds a single 10" woofer, so it can go pretty loud as well with that +/-9mm Xlin.

Here's a better look of the thing.

Pretty sweet!

Putting non-coax speakers on their sides is a sure way how to fuxxor up the sweetspot. Put them upside down if you need to get the tweeter lower.

[Dusty Chalk]

That was the first thing I noticed too!

At least they're symmetrically arranged.

Television image is probably redacted.  Season 8 of Game of Thrones or something.

If not for those Klipsh, I'd have thought it was 1974. Oh, and what a funny picture on that easel.

The Wilson Watt Puppies usually went for around $10-11K so that was a pretty good deal for a $500 pair of speakers.

Does say something about residual value though, doesn't it?

Honey - I bought some new speakers. Honey? Honey??

[robm321]

Interesting diffusion panels.

[swt61]

I have the same subwoofer. 

[Dusty Chalk]

🤤

[Hopstretch]

Why bring the cables around the front of the speakers -- is this a new audiophile hack?

[skullguise]

Why has no one mentioned the elephant cat in the room?

Steve: is that the Gallo subwoofer?  I have the TR-1 as well.....
