I had these for many years.

Certainly one of the most unusual speakers I have heard was this Bayz duo which uses the Bayz Radial Speaker (BRS), a unique âradial tweeterâ design that is composed of a cylindrical membrane made from a proprietary ultralight material, creating omnidirectional sound emission.
Driven by Rui Borges turntable/Supreme Analogue pickups/NAT tube amps at the Vienna Hifi Show 2023 it combined holographic sound with incredible optics, certainly not for everyone.
Played Kraftwerk âWir sind die Roboterâ (how much at odds with the reproduction tech can you be?) with incredible definition and control - when your diaphragm has muscle soreâŠbut with classical recordings they system revealed massing air and volume of the instruments.
That setup looks like a kraftwerkâŠ
Certainly requires one to drive it!
I count 25 tweeters and 36 mid/bass units per speaker! I wonder if the latter all play full range, or whether theyâre somehow divided into groups.
A teacher in the Netherlands earns an average 5800 euros a month pre tax.
How do you know AI imagined that ?
Japanese market is very open for this kind of crap.
Is that considered high?
Itâs not bad Iâd say. There is lots of popular talk that teachers done earn much, but the modal income is 3500 euros a month.
Perhaps itâs different in other countries and if youâd want to buy a city house on one salary 5800 is perhaps not enough but it gives you a decent life in the Netherlands and lots of holidays.
It would be a very good salary for a teacher here in Sweden. In fact I think itâs more in line with what a head master makes or maybe even more.
Looked it up. Itâs more than the average salary for a head master which is about 5000âŹ
There has been a significant correction here a couple of years ago. All salaries of primary secondary and high school were synced ( so a primary school teacher earns as much as a standard maths teacher ). I think itâs one of the best things a country can do: decent salaries in education.
Iâm a SET (special education teacher) so Iâd welcome it obviously
But not in PolandâŠ
Nowhere near. A quarter of it, if lucky.
The B&W DM70 was an interesting and unusual-looking loudspeaker. I bought a pair soon after I left university, but they had to go ten years later as the kids took over our lives.
This is a photo of one from the internet, but I no doubt have photos of my actual ones which looked just like this up in the loft somewhere. To get an idea of the size, they were about 1 metre high.
Lots of giveaways, e.g. large bass drivers without the cone material moulded around the edge instead of flexible surrounds, also inconsistent mounting holes/screws. And if indeed for the Japanese market, would they ever accept a toilet with just a seat and no lid?
Nor UK, where maybe half (1/3 to 2/3 range)
Here, in France, the beginning salary for a teacher is around 1800 euros ( after deduction of all the taxes). 5 years studies at University and 1 additional year to prepare the competition ( « concours « in French).
The minimal salary in France is around 1350 euros.
A Doctor , after 10 years studies, the first year, has around 3000 euros.
True! And I know itâŠ
If you desire a musical toilet with more functionalities, and a lid, another one here for the Japanese market :
Yes, the Japanese do indeed have toilets that play music - to mask other noises. You can buy Japanese style toilet seats in Europe but I think they only have the sophisticated bidet functions, not the music
