Bill Cain Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Using superior analog technology all but lost in today's common digital electronics, this is the first tube-based iPod speaker system, producing a luxurious warmth and clarity prized by audiophiles and previously difficult to reproduce outside of custom-built amplifiers of a handful of live musicians. Developed and built by German audio technicians, the system consists of an aluminum-encased amplifier housing four powerful Class-A tubes which glow gently as they generate warm, low-octave sound that is virtually distortion-free, considered by audiophiles to be the most pleasing to the human ear. The tube amplifier smoothes over distortions found in modern digital recordings while helping to compensate and minimize the quality loss inherent in compressed audio such as MP3s, and in addition to the iPod line-in jack, a second audio-in port allows you to connect a CD player, satellite radio, or other audio component. The matching double-cone, full-range speakersdesigned solely for use with this systemfaithfully generate warm, realistic tones using a single, highly synchronized chassis per speaker (reducing ill-timed and out of phase audio). An RCA cable and two highly-insulated 13' triple-core speaker cables with gold-plated connectors are included. System: 111/2" H x 61/2" W x 26" L. (42 lbs.)

JoeRiff Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Wow, for four grand the speakers even incorporate the vaunted "whizzer cone" technology made famous by AC Delco. I can see they spared no expense to please even the most discerning ear with this design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted May 31, 2006 Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2006 Those speakers are ugly, can't possibly sound good and thier "momma is probably ugly too". Even if they did sound good I would not want those interfering with my "curtains and armoire". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
