Well, if we don't have a great name by now, I doubt we'll ever have one.  This list contains some very good ideas.  I was planning on wading through the entire thread yesterday and narrowing things down.  I even started working on it.  But by the time I got caught up on all the emails that had piled up, I just ran out of time.

I may have some time on Wednesday evening to sort things out and inform Jeff of my thoughts (since he was instrumental in the design, it is only appropriate that he should have input into the final name selection).  So, hopefully, we can put this to bed by the end of the week.

I want to personally thank everyone who put some thought into this.  Your input is greatly apprecaited.

Thanks,

- Jim

Jim,
   I hope by the time I receive my pair, it will already have a name. :lol:

   Oh by the way, given your already excessive workload, what's a realistic expection turn-around time for a new pair?

Thanks

Wayfarer?
I like it, but how would it apply to the look of the speaker?  Isn't a wayfarer a person who travels on foot?

Wayfarer, I kind of like that. I think they were a pair of beach shorts or some clothing back in the day, so it's along with the surf scene theme.

The Wayfarer is a wooden or fibreglass hulled Bermuda rigged sailing dinghy, often used for short sailing trips as a 'day boat'. Wayfarers' size and stability have made them popular with sailing schools.

The top half look like a surf board, it does.
Waves... air...

Hm...

It also remind me of a broad bladed sword of the type used by the Knights of Avalon.

Salk Excalibur
Salk Caliburn

(Excalibur = Caliburn, just different dialects..)

For the beauty of the physical speaker...the sonic excellence I expect they will deliver...and the overall experience of dealing with JS and the satisfaction of knowing you are getting as close to speaker nirvana as you can get for the money -
