No, I'm not talking about my Emerald Physics CS2.3s or my Hawthorne Trios.

I'm talking about this: http://www.soulsonicspeakers.com/

    A new pair of Carver Amazing Plats would go for $4,000 in today's money(inflation adjusted).

    But for a small company starting out, the price doesn't surprise me.

    For ****, I emailed the guy. I'm waiting on an answer, but I think he can darken the "glass", although I think it is some kind of hard plastic. Also, the glass could substituted for wood.

    I would go with wood don't have to worry about seeing crap behind it lol. but for 10G I think my carvers will suit me well for awhile.

    on a side note, it doesn't seem like they have the tilt back that the carvers do, so I'm wondering how that will affect the overall sound of them.
