Speaker Porn

no one? it's rather sexy.

I agree, an integrated option from Pass seems like a winner in my book, especially with that faceplate.

    Ah - the good old battleship grey Cambridge Audio livery. It was panned by the reviewers, as were the buttons on the CD player (they described them as reminiscent of poking dead flesh). Very unfair, b

  • I dunno, can i post this here? The leather was just an idea - making some matching wood pulls would be cool - maybe when things die down at M&O of course my speaker cables are too short

It looks very nice, but why is this in speaker porn? What am I missing?

You have to have something to inject a little signal into those pornographic speakers, don't you?

Yes, and that PASS would make a lovely 50th Birthday present for Dr. Wood. :D

inject a ... signal

How apropos

Lipinski L707 and L150 sub

what are the weird things in the back that look like a bowl on stand?

I am probably never going to be able to justify them but the Lipinski's look amazing...

A pair of omnis I'd guess.

Yep, some type of omni radiating speaker.

What about those 2 giant tubes? Is that some sort of amp?

Yeah, probably some tube amp that sounds moast awesome with 10% THD at 20 watts.

It's pissing me off that I know Birgir's mentioned these tubes before but I don't remember what they're called and my google searching capabilities are not advanced enough to yield the result.

They're real. And iirc they are definitely a lot more than 20 Watts. I think somewhere near 100 sounds right, and at a better THD.

Good?

They were set up in a mastering studio, full of excellent quality pro gear like Lavry DA-924 + LE3000. IIRC power amps were Bryston, but I'm not 100% sure. The model was the previous one using black mid-woofers. Not that I had the chance to play my music or pay any "critical listening" whatever that is, but could get a grasp on their character. Rather impressive I must say. Those things can play loud and doing it without distortion. Cristal clear sound, a bit in the cold analytical side of things, but that could be due to many other things, including the amps. I suppose they're a very good tool for mastering, mixing and any professional application, but not that sure they'll give "musical bliss" in the Harbeth, Spendor, Quad way.

Sounds interesting, thanks for sharing your impressions.

Available for the "introductory price" of $20K.

Those tubes are 50W handling (so those monoblocks must be the thick end of 100W each). The downside is that the tubes are $2k a pair.
