where are the monoblocks? am i missing part of the picture or part of the joke?

You have to admit it's the hottest picture so far.

Yes I'm bored.

They (dual monoblocks) are between the speakers; yes.

Huh, the speaker cables both route to an off picture amp?

must have left my sense of humor on the hiking trail this morning

i didnt get the joke either. now i do. ha ha.

The hell I do!

That little glow is the plasma tweeter.

I guarantee you that piffling fuel-burning fire cannot hold a candle to the goddamn plasma flame in the Lansche speakers. PLASMA.

At an affordable pricepoint, the Acoustic Zen Adagios are pretty swank. Photos don't do justice to the shinyness of the finish.

Yes Acoustic Zens look and sound mighty nice and Robert Lee is a very nice and approachable business owner.

pardon my ignorance in the matter, but besides efficiency gain what are arrays of speakers good for? wouldnt it be better to just have 1 "good" driver vs 15 "not so good" drivers? or perhaps how would 15 of those "good" drivers differ from using just 1 of them?

Lower distortion too, since less excursion for a given spl. Of course, what you are asking about is a line array, and there is a lot of available reading material on that subject.

That. And also, any variations in manufacturing get "averaged" out.*

*Yes, actually, that's "distortion", but I thought I'd just get more specific in one instance.

Also, the psychology -- more drivers == more imposing == mas machos.

And certainly one good driver, done well, is a magnificent thing. It's just a matter of taste.

Hah, what a cute little flame!

Wanna see real plasma? Check this out:

hmm...an array of enabled 127e's...

thanks for the link colin. reading starts.

I saw that in real life. It sounds pretty bad ass

The Octagon

perhaps not so much speaker porn. well it is. excellent story as well though.

ps. whats going on with extra pages showing up but not actually being there?

That actually is pretty cool -- especially since it introduced me to the concept of an acoustically transparent screen -- I was told there is no such thing.

And: in-wall speakers can sound extremely good if done well. "Infinite baffle" etc.

Pass Labs Rushmore:

pass labs as in nelson pass labs? those exude power.

No, those are from sherman pass labs

Yeah, I stumbled upon them while searching the web for reviews of the Aleph P.

Didnt Nelson start out designing speakers? Either way, those are, IMO, some of the sexiest speakers I have ever seen.
