    I think I know that one. This things will need a lot of power to work properly. The have the ribbon and 4 12" open baffle woofers if I am correct.

    That's funny. The first pair he ever heard were right here. The same pair that've been here for 22 years.

    The ones pictured are tough to drive. The Platinum edition is much easier.

    At least a good amp of 200 w into 4 ohms is a must for the ones pictured.

    the ones pictured seem a little off. Usually if they do not have the silver woofers, they would have a single 60" ribbon the ones in the pic have 2 30" ribbons. The ones I had were the original with 2 30" and 4 12" woofers but they were silver woofers with a flat look to them. They dipped down to 1 ohm. They were the reson why I got a sunfire sig amp!
