Thors Hammer... I like the nordic theme there on you usrname!

Why don't we go to american age of old and say Geronimo!!!

Salk Geronimo.

The protuding tip on top of the speaker signifying the eagle feather that was attathed to the back of his head.

Geronimo was an Apache indian.
Uhm of course... His Apache name Goyaałé means "The yawning one" But who cares...

WOW! Imperial - you get an A+ for effort!

Gorgeous! They definitely look like rockets waiting to launch, hence Rockets should be the name, and it will fly!

You know. I was just over at www.enjoythemusic.com , looking at the AK fest 2008 page there...

I'm looking at the picture and ONE word sprung to mind... Cathedral!!!

(Of course, I'm a bit slow to detect this...

I checked back to page one and see it's pretty much the starting word.. but still, I sort of got there myself too!)

This speaker looks like a Cathedral!!! (first suggested by ST.Pats guy, and I agree now!)
Cathedral names!!! Or maybe Salk Cathedral will do, what ever! Salk Arundel?
I'm looking at it... and that just jumped at me!!!
You know, sitting inside a cathedral you look up at the ceiling and you see a shape... Link is to the "Arundel" in Brighton (west sussex, UK)
IMHO!!!

How about

"Salk Surreals" : From Wikipedia :surreal in general means bizarre or dreamlike (you did say dream up a name, and they look like dream speakers )

To this previous suggestion I would like to add "Salk Soundscapes"

The term "soundscape" can also refer to an audio recording or performance of sounds that create the sensation of experiencing a particular acoustic environment, or compositions created using the "found sounds" of an acoustic environment, either exclusively or in conjunction with musical performances.[1][2]

Do we have a name yet? Did someone already say, "Cathedral". I am not taking credit for it as I think I heard someone say this name at AKFest and I really thought it fit.

Yup There have been all kinds of votes for Cathedral. And the "Portal" suggestion was made in the context of a cathedral--they look like the connecting doors in cathedrals. (Of course, the "portal" name has the added benefit of a double meaning appropriate to audio, but I editorialize.)

Ok, am curious. I know Jim has made some specific & special alterations/selections which improved the unit from Mr. Bagby's original. That noted, in reading Jeff's post early on I saw he had already named them "Galileo's". I was wondering if it's sufficient to call them Salk Galileo's ?

Given that all sectors of my internal 'harddrive' are not fully accessible due to the years, enough bits remain that I get the feelings expressed by many regarding 'Cathedrals', 'Portals', 'Mitres', 'Bishops', etc (ie Middle Ages/Renaissance), as well as an insinuation regarding 'open baffle' design. Wasn't Galileo's vision in large part to the heavens. Can't get much more open than that.

Just wondering if a name change is required, or if simply a refining addition to their original moniker is sufficient.

OK, I have looked at them a lot of times but this time Salk Lebowskis' just popped in my head for their slightly unconventional, unorthodox, laid back look, with a quiet confidence that is way cool- besides anyone that names their speaker Lebowski is fully confident in their design and performance , beside who would forget a speaker named Lebowski?

In the spirit of Lebowski, they might have to be larger, so they could truly be the Big Lebowski - what a fun name for a sub!

How about "THE ARCH" and there could be some adjustable outriggers for height and tilt called the "ARCH SUPPORTS" aa

Jim,
on page 1 of this thread you said that when real data was available, the graph in the first post would be updated. Frankly, I'm surprised it was posted in the first place, especially with the descriptor "measured frequency response".
