Jackman,

I was thinking you lived in Chicago and knew my buddy, Randy (aka "theranman").

Randog,

Thanks, I think they're kinda cool myself!

Duh! I know Randy but didn't put two and two together....

Jack

PS-he's a good guy.

The RAD Tanger T !

I think RAD Nein is a nice double entendre.

I like the Inline 9 suggestion as you can extend the name to a wide line of TB driver-based speakers, from a 2 woofer small bookshelf to a 4 woofer large bookshelf, to a 6 woofer small tower, etc.

Jay,

You lost me on the RAD Nein suggestion.

Well rad is 'wheel' in German and nein is 'no', so I'm guessing he means it also can be read as 'not a wheel' or something like that.

Oops, maybe its a little too far out. Nein sounds like nine, and the speaker does have 9 Tang Band drivers. Nein also means "no"... RAD No?

Perhaps this is the first speaker in RADical line up. And it looks to be a classic..

So my $$ is for RADical Classic.

Brian would follow it up with RADical Center, & RADical Surrounds/Monitors & Radiance Subwoofer

He would then develop another better & bigger line-up and call them ...well, Brian can save them for another contest

Cheers,
Kishore

Oops noticed that KKM proposed RADical...oh well

I musta been pretty tired to not at least remember that "nein" was German for no. Especially considering Bunge is German. Duh!:)

Currently the Micros are my surrounds (at least small surrounds) but a similar sub and center are definitely on my "to do" list.

RAD Button Boxes?

RAD Button Flies? (ie Plural of Button Fly)

You could stick with your current naming convention and go with:
    T-2   the next tower number (and movie connotations)
    T-9   for the 9 drivers
    T-10  for the total number of drivers (and is similar to the Lexicon numbering tradition -- MC-1 to MC-12 and then MC-8)

Or I like a grander name:
    RAD Ultimate(s)
    RAD Ultimate Tower
or to be a bit sillier with this:
    Ultimate RAD
    Ultimately RAD
or to borrow from the previous suggestions
    Ultimately RADical

How about "RAD-A.R."?

RAD Audio Reproducers (RADARs)

JohnR · « **Reply #33 on:** 2 Jul 2003, 02:34 pm »

RADar love!!!

If I win JoshK can have half my prize

BradJudy · « **Reply #34 on:** 2 Jul 2003, 02:43 pm »

Brian, did you have a particular feeling you wanted the name to invoke? Excitement, relaxing, etc.

A couple more ideas:

RAD TB-9 (for the TangBand drivers)
Column 9
Columna Nueve (it has a bit more of a romantic sound in Spanish)
Altavoz Nueve (another Spanish option - 'speaker nine')

eh?

I'm not even sure I'm allowed to enter

How come no-one's mentioned anything to do with the solar system...

Like the 'Alignment of the planets' speakers?

How about:

String of Pearls (both for looks and a reference to a classic piece of music)

Brian Bunge · « **Reply #38 on:** 2 Jul 2003, 03:39 pm »

Brad,

I hate to try to "direct" the contest one way or another, but I'm interested in more exciting names. The speakers really grab you visually even moreso in person and I'd like the name to capture that.

John,

Of course you're allowed to enter. I like the solar system idea too, but just for the record, any name having to do with Uranus will NOT win!

Marbles · « **Reply #39 on:** 2 Jul 2003, 07:58 pm »

More exciting huh?

How about the RAD Tits! You can't help but stare at them
