    It's been a long time simce I've seen Monitor 10's in person. Is it even possible to mount a horn in the space above the tweeter? Or, in this case did the tweeter have to be lowered? These certainly are the strangest 10's I've ever seen. At first I thought it was a Photo-shop item.
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Could have been one of the many prototypes that was produced. Maybe somehow one leaked into the public? On the other hand it's probably far more likely that this guy took some 10A's and got his groove on with a router and a $5 pair of tweeters.
