Those live plants are bound to leave rings on the top of those speakers!

People putting stuff on top of their speakers drives me nuts.

Setup by Devon Turnbull at the Lisson Gallery in New York.  I don't mind it except for the turntable, which gives me PTSD flashbacks to elementary school.  I saw Mr. Turnbull described as a "hi-fi influencer" which is a term I refuse to accept.

I'm jealous of this room.

For when you need to hear those 10 hz. pipe organs. Even though the human ear can't hear that low.

Nelson Pass's El Pipo transmission line speakers take some beating

https://www.firstwatt.com/pdf/art_elpipeo.pdf

The best quote from the article is "Funny things happen when your speakers are flat to 13Hz. You have to be careful about your tone arm, your windows, your neighbors, and your bowels"

Obviously not married.

Oh yes he is.

In an interview "I met my wife Jill at ESS — she was the Heil diaphragm tester — and she doesn’t have any problem with that. When I met her I had the Claw, a straight bass horn with a 50ft2 mouth and 9’ depth. Since then she has lived with the Kleinhorns (nearly as large, but stereo) and El Pipe-Os at 12’ high"

Placing a turntable on top of a subwoofer is certainly a novel idea.

[Dusty Chalk]

RIP any music with bass

[Knuckledragger]

SMH look at this noob shoving his speakers in the corner like that.  Everyone knows that's a bad idea!

Do I have to put /s?  I feel like I have to put /s.

The first time I ever saw Klipschorns, I said exactly that to the guy, then he schooled me. I was 16.

Since then I've had the honor to help build Marc's amazing corner horns. Not quite the same. Marc's are infinitly more complex, and amazing sounding!

So is the amp made by Craftsman or Snap-On?
