Chatting with the dealer this morning and I’ve arranged the home demo to start from tomorrow week, the 24th.
FWIW the dealer tells me that Thomas Tuchel owns a pair of 101’s
See post 43. In black they are frightening.
true
Also not the best looking pair of speakers, quite low in WAF
I think my speakers are an unconventional design in the sense that they’re HiFi speakers designed around PA drivers.
From Troels Gravesen, the designer:
Just google his name and on his site you’ll find these and a few others in the section “FUSION SPEAKERS”.
For those interested, my build of them can be seen here: Speaker Build - Faital 3WC-15
That’s a very eclectic way to define ‘unconventional’, but I like it. Looking at the TG speaker designs since quite some time…
mmmh, not bad looking! How did it sound?
Can’t really remember, but didn’t stand out. Room acoustics at the show weren’t particularly good so not a place to make a fair judgement.
But it is a normal dynamic speaker. Nothing unconventional there, imo.
yeah, but there’s a lot of such in this thread…
must be posted, of course

I have actually heard 3 of those. They sound pretty good and look even better. You are paying for the wood work and looks though.
Yes, but speakers are part of the furniture . I once impulse bought a pair of Ruark Sabres based purely on their looks, in my audio regrets they feature highly - when I gave them to someone who blew them up .
Those Davone speakers and these beauties from post 102 would grace any lounge

And then there’s Jern that are built into cast iron enclosures and look like they’ve escaped from a particularly annoying cartoon.
Conventional enough as to drivers and cross overs though the rubber ring support is fairly unusual. The French quite often use the word enceint for speakers, these look like it, it also means pregnant.
