....and just when you thought you could Finally afford that pair of MBLs'.....


...and your SigOther had agreed that the 2nd on the manse was 'kinda OK..."

Not that SAF improves here...although, like the MBLs' and SOTA stuff of its' ilk....  

No, they won't go with French Provincial...but wouldn't block one from noticing the lovely console, no...😏

A shout-out to our Brit'Goners!  Has anyone even seen these beyond the showroom windows?  Any Fi-Show appearances?  An IRL 'are you Experienced'?

'Free Shipping'....I'd hope so...  Love the 21st Cen 'Nipper' pic....

...and to round it all out....a mostly clear piano, grand 'natch....

Dubai.....UAE....*sigh*

@czarivey ....I traded posts elsewhere with a 'phile in Atlanta that was/is DIY'ng a pair of 101s'...had the tweet and mid-globes down & done, and was moving on to the woofs...  A really nice bit of work, but works for a mfr. in that area so has access to tools we normally don't and was doing his own carbon fibre at home. 👍

*L*  Originally called it his 'summer project'....'quite a while ago....' ;)

Progress has slowed, tho'....got accepted and went back to college p/t.  That, work & family has undoubtedly slowed the project.

We had (and it still stands) that when we both get our respective goals into a  *meh* 'ready for semi-prime time' to meet and bench race them...

The Battle of the Geometric Shapes!  Spheres v. Cones!  The  Showdown/Throwdown of the OmniWorld!  😏  Coming eventually...

@roxy54 ..gathered that from their 'site.....and will go take another look later at their more 'plebeian' stuff...and yes, I'm kidding... ;)  Nothing against horns, actually own an older pair of Utah's as a reference, something I 'do' for my own 'watermarks', so to speak.
Heat-forming acrylic sheets in large scales 3D can be a 'black art'; if F.Hill is casting those panels and polishing them out can be, in itself, a 'price-point pusher'....

There was an artist in the Berkeley area that did very large scale acrylic castings with a huge vacuum chamber/oven.  Found out that to pull it off successfully, he had to control both going in and out of the process...

Stuff has a tendency to explode and break the mechanism...Not so good....*G*

 

I actually like the aesthetics of the set....but the price?  That's why I noted 'Dubai'....That crowd will buy the 'bulk' (sic) of them....because they can, just because....

I mean....do you have a gold-bar dispenser @ your 7-11?

Me neither...*L*

Me: “Neat! What colors do they come in?”

OR,

Interesting approach: make the most exotic, visually compelling part of a horn invisible so everyone focuses on the anti-ergonomic skateboarding rail it’s balanced upon.

Admittedly I can't understand the OP.

But I heard what was either a smaller pair of the Ferguson Hill speakers at a Toronto show, or perhaps it was another manufacturer doing the same thing: basically lowther-type drivers surrounded by big plastic clear focusing lens/guides.

They produced the most realistic sensation of a classical guitarist playing in front of me that I've ever heard. 

Beyond that I seem to remember them being pretty thin for more substantial music.
