A few days ago, a pair of Bubinga Type 1.5's came.
The sound: I have had the Type 1 with the old driver and now have these Type 1.5's with the new driver, and the new driver has better tonal balance, with seemingly no peeks. The transition between bass, mids, and highs is seamless to my ears, and 2w/ch drives them like a much bigger amp. One would think such big boxes would sound boomy and boxy, no, opposite; they are airy, etherial, and detached with a huge deep soundstage. Vocals are spooky, and right in the listener's presence with no stereo in between. If I could describe the sound (if they really have a "sound") summed up in one word, it would be effortless.
The look: I have to say I have never seen a more beautifully finished audio product, not that they are any better than Louis' other offerings, but it is the Bubinga veneer. The pictures do not do this finish justice - not even close. The patina of the wood has a deep holographic look to it, sort of like the image on some credit cards. A level 3 finish worth every penny. Also, the tilted back look is so cool. Their looks match their sound.
