    For $6000, they better do more than sound good. They better wash the car.:cool: I wasn't thinking of anything sexual.:rolleyes:

    Those look great, but I am partial to the B&W 800 series....Something about that look does it for me.

    For 6 grand, I expected less drivers. :)

    And I'm being serious.

    Looks cool none the less.

    I like it, short of the grey material at the bottom and the grill taper that goes over it.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    I think the PSB Platinum towers take this type of look and completely perfect it.

    Those paradigms have the right idea, but sure are busy... I am a designer though, so I am biased towards cleaner lines.

    The most beautiful speaker in the world is probably this one:

    It is a totally different design philosophy though... a true work of art.

    You could always use this for your center channel then. And perhaps these as your mains? and this as your sub. :D

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    That center channel looks like a more uppity and expensive version of the Polk HT Soundbar.

    That center channel looks like it would sound like rear.

    I was thinking of something sexual. It is definitely longer than it is wide.

    The front looks a little too industrial for me.

    Yep that might be just enough cone displacement to work.Although I would probably add a few more of those nice Plinius amps to make sure I had enough headroom.:)
