i recently heard their higher end model "bella luna" with an opera consonance m100 with the 300B tubes while in germany, it was quite amazing how easily these speakers filled the room. they sounded fantanstic but a bit out of my price range.

any thoughts on this specific model (planets) or any omni speakers would be greatly appreciated.

    Care to share how much they want for these different speakers? I can't seem to find the prices anywhere.

    Cool looking speakers though.

    HighEndAudio has them. Be prepared to open your wallet WIDE.

    Those are some extremely nice looking speakers, though. Interesting build, too.

    Their "Jupiter" series:

    How much ? $25,000.
    Want those in a piano finish ? Okay, add $4000.

    I get the feeling that you'd definitely have to design the room around the speaker; the "360 degree" concept is fine, but speaker placement would be ultra critical.

    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

    their prices range a lot as can be seen by the responses but those are retail and if a pair is found used im sure the price would be more reasonable and still 1200 isnt too bad for a speaker like this it seems.
