Unique & Distinctive Speakers

So, TerryO, what's happened to Dan since Adire went tits up?
Click to expand...

I haven't talked to Dan for a month or so, but he's staying pretty busy. He designed either 5 or 7 drivers (I forget which) for JBL, along with other companies. He spends a lot of time in Asia, where he has a lot of contacts, to co-ordinate and oversee development and manufacturing of audio and other products.
I suppose you may not know that Dan originally designed SONAR systems, which he was doing when I met him, before he got into audio and speaker design. He's a very smart engineer and a great guy.
In fact, he's truely a perfect gentleman and has never raised his voice when telling me to leave, unlike all the others...
:D

Best Regards,
TerryO

Too bad Adire is out of business, nothing moved air like a Parthenon.

I think Tom Danley might have something to say about that. Will a Parthenon move the wall of a house 8" in and out? Danley's sonic-boom simulator speaker systems will! :D

If I was willing to have a speaker that LOOKS like a Dalek in my living/listening room...I may as well have a speaker that looks EXACTLY like a Dalek!!!:D

As art, the specimens are very nice. The little fostex matches well, visually , at least.
I wonder what is goin' on in the horn section, though... :scratch2:
 
Reality 4D Speakers by Acoustic Reality

Details:
The Reality 4D loudspeakers contain a 6,5 inch Scan Speak mid-woofer and a 3/4 inch tweeter from the Danish Hiquphon. Both driver units have been developed in corporation with Acoustic Reality. Frequency response: 30Hz to 25kHz, +-3 dB. Dimensions: Width: 350mm, height: 1440mm, depth: 350mm

New Years Humor:
- What exactly is the "point" of these speakers?
- These speakers sure know how to make a "point".
- These speakers are "sharp"!
- I wonder if these speakers are hard to "triangulate"?
- I wonder if you can set your amp under four of these?
- Great complement to the Yamaha B-6 amplifier (pictured below)

Those are cool! I checked them out on the net and found that they are available in several unique and distinctive finishes. Here are my favorites...

Had a few friends over tonight, we dragged one down out from the attic.

This one fits the bill!

Beautiful Onken W's, SMT. Those 1803's are really impressive, too -- what drivers are you using on them and in the rest of your system?

Bravo!
