wouldn't we need an umbilical connecting one speaker to the other?
"Having heard a few speakers..." No kidding??
Grand idea for a thread topic What do you guys think of this?The challenge: High end sound, extreme minimalism. No cables, no boxes, no entertainment units or shelving. Nothing but two beautiful speakers. Two towers, two clean wires out the back you plug in the wall. That's itBuilt into each speaker would be a squeezebox, the amps, etc. The squeezebox display would be tastefully integrated into the front of each speaker so you could see what's playing. Absolute minimalism, deadly clean. Zero clutter.They'd sell. I know Bang & Olufsen get close to this idea, but they don't really nail it.To us, hifi rigs are beautiful, but to many, it's an ugly room of cables and boxes and it looks dreadful. Two towers, two wires, amazing sound. Design and architectural magazines would be all over them./A
Somewhat along the lines of Scott's post....1) smooth impedence; ( 8 ohm min.)...low reactance2) acoustic suspension design3) no larger than 1 cu. ft4) can actually be used with a grill cloth attached (We probably don't see many acoustic suspension speakers anymore because most 'off-the-shelf drivers' have the wrong T&S 'specs' to be used that way; and because people have become accustomed to the sound of a reflex loaded speaker.)Easier said than done, right?WEEZ
