Anybody heard the new Gingko Tubulous speakers?

yeap...i heard them...and indeed, for the price these speakers are amazing...not only they sound like full range, they're pretty cool looking and also customer firendly (meaning that you can rotate the top part, angle them in any way possible to match the room and your taste)...one thing that impressed me was the bass...these speakers have no right to sound as good as they sound and certainly by looking at them someone won't expect the base you get out of these...they're combining the speed and transparency of electrostats with wider sweet spot and depth of box speakers....give them a try...you won't be disappointed!!!

They are an amazing sounding speaker regardless of price. The look is in the eye of the beholder. I like the look. Vinh Vu
is one of the genuine good guys in high-end. All his prod ucts are top quality and he stands behind them.

Sure they are a bargain. Its isobaric I think. They do look a bit odd for a speaker but you might get a kick out of it. And yes they have more bass than they have a right to but there drivers inside the tubular housing as well don't forget. So that single 6 or so inch driver is not working alone. They even have a crossover I am pretty sure if I am not mistaken. Someone help me out here will ya.

Just reading info and rviewes of Wilson Bensch Dscovery's.Need to hear them.Can get new B&W,Gallo RefIII's,Linn's and others at dealker cost (where I used to wrok).Great speakers like Qaud 988's,Audio Physic Virgo III's or $10K list Infintiy Preludes are $3500 if you look hard enough.Add $1500 more and you could get early version AVANTGARD's!!!!!
So what am I doing other than consfusing/Frustrating myself by reading about an $8K list Wilson Bnenesch Discovery?Because their so fuckin' coolthat's why!!Aluminum frames and carbon which cut size for that level of inertness down to nothing compared with MDF.With integral pole they have mid bass driver and tweeter but also attached to pole is isobaric bass module making tham tall strange shaped monitors that are suppose to sound awesome.But while reading about them copuldn't help but think of the Tubulous Vihn Vu offering where at shows he get's the "so where's the sub?"question all the time.Always wated Linn Isobaric but never got them way back.Now Totems (large)Mani-2 is not isobaric but direct coupled woofers firing in opposite direction so the bookshelf Advent sized box practically to RUMBLES it goes so low.But with stands they are pretty big.So Maybe the Isobaric idea made sense back in the day and Vu's THREE six and half inch drivers make seense because yes they look cool,can be toe'd in without really moving them (a la the old B&W Matrix mid/tweeter head) and cost not $8K like the WB's but a mere $2500!Much more a speaker put against the gallo Ref III's at $3K (without extra a $1K amp for dual coil subs).BTW anybody following the gallo thing I saw ad for used blocks for them to sit on by Brightstar.My guess is Bob Warzalla has allready designed chunk of heavy iron that will blow doors on all comers and if Vu's spekers catch on he'll make bases for them too.Need to hear what you guy are talking about!!!
