Speaker Porn

The OMA speakers are some of the best if not the best I have heard. The Imperia with the 22 inch sub is mind blowingly good. The little guys retain the same house sound just on a significantly smaller scale. I would love to have any of these speakers!

We should have invaded OMA's DUMBO location on our NYC beer walk.

Plenty of speaker pr0n from the T.H.E. Show 2012, Newport Beach, CA in this thread or flickr set / slideshow

They look monstrous to those worried about WAF, but to those of us who will have sex with aliens or robots, they're hawt.

Also, it's nice to see Simon Pegg doing some side work.

^ I want these. I'd probably have to upgrade my electrical and run new lines first.

They are hideous though. I think they will look better mounted to stands.

hmmm

[Dusty Chalk]

 

I know they're Sony's, but they're gorgeous.

Mmm, SSM9ED's.  I always though Avalon took a cue from their design:

I don't know what this is, but it's a part of their new ES line of speakers:

Sony can make some very nice equipment when they go all out.  That series was awesome in many ways, ditto the R1 and R10's.

I don't know what this is, but it's a part of their new ES line of speakers:

 

Perhaps a rebadged aircirc tweeter?

[Dusty Chalk]

I thought it was a centrifuge.

Perhaps a rebadged aircirc tweeter?

that's what I thought as well:

No doubt about it.

Shape Audio's Organic Harmony 18-karat gold floorstanding speaker. This one's valued at a cool $8 million.

[aardvark baguette]

i'd rather have two speakers

[Dusty Chalk]

But you gotta admit, it does look porny.  In a gilt-overload extravagance kind of way.  I'd rather have the one million dollar system from ...oh, I forget whom...EDIT:  Oh yeah, the Kharma Grand Enigma.

Does that actually exist IRL? That pic looks rendered.

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, I mean who has a desk with only two drawers?  Receptionists, that's who.  What receptionist has a US$8M speaker in front of them?

 

Also, can you say, 'first reflection nightmare'?

[Dusty Chalk]

This is real -- glass, electrostatic top, dynamic bottom:

 

Pro subwoofers -- they remind me of the old Krell Master Reference subwoofers:

[bjarnetv]

is posting pictures of your own speakers frowned upon in this thread? 

[Augsburger]

Very nice looking speakers, interesting design.

 

Oh, and cool avatar.
