And passives doesn&#39;t even sound good. Active is where it has been happening for decades, and&nbsp; I can&#39;t for the life of me understand why the hifi industry at large are so backwards. Horn speakers and valve amps. Yes, it&#39;s a fun thing to play around with as a hobby, but they are extremely distorting. Couple it with a tape deck using old tapes and your favourite turntable playing well played (i.e. dynamics have been removed) albums with an old needle and you will have what many hifi geeks considers &quot;nirvana&quot;. To me it seems they have given up on &quot;High Fidelity&quot; (i.e. being true to the source=as low distortion as possible&quot; and have begun living in an imaginary world.</p> <p>Seriously, &pound;13000 for what is one (passive) driver, you will supply the amplifiers (if you only have a three watt amp, that&#39;s apparently enough, because the rest is mechanical amplification = extreme amounts of distortion). No, compared to that, even the BL3s are out of this world and a real bargain to boot.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/290173.aspxFri, 13 Aug 2010 19:54:14 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:290173Steffen0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/290173.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=290173<p>&nbsp;<blockquote><div><img src="https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/Themes/beotheme1/images/icon-quote.gif"> <strong>andreabang:</strong></div><div> <p>i was just surfing online....</p> <p>http://freshome.com/2008/07/06/17-cool-speakers-designs-that-look-better-than-they-sound/</p> </div></blockquote></p> <p>ALL of these are damn ugly -so the sound must be really bad <img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/58.gif" alt="Laughing" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/289877.aspxWed, 11 Aug 2010 19:07:15 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:289877andreabang0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/289877.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=289877<p>i was just surfing online....</p> <p>http://freshome.com/2008/07/06/17-cool-speakers-designs-that-look-better-than-they-sound/</p> <p>some of this are very famous,don&#39;t need explanation,but there are other brands not so famous but with nice ideas...it gives inspiration!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>http://www.fergusonhill.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=28&amp;products_id=31</p> <p>395&pound; for that &quot;looks like an &nbsp;high-end loudspeaker&quot;...i ask myself how will they sound....</p> <p>EDIT:it seems those are the little sister(for pc )...big daddy(FH001) is about 13.000&pound; and need amplifier under 150 hz :(....did someone listen them?</p> <p>(honestly with that price i would go for a pair of beolab5(they look more&nbsp;<span class="trn">substantial..:) but nice try)</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
