I'll rename the artwork when Danny makes a choice

More lipstick please. Reconsider the overall look More vertical may be more elegant. H frames can be tough. Think Italian, why not?

Man I really like Venue.

If it is out what about Mirage or Presence?

How about The GR Stage? or Soundstage.

Or The GR Dynamic

Okay guys, I hate to say it but I am leaning away from the Venue name.

For one:

Quote

I just checked the JBL website and the Venue Series name appears to be Trade Marked.

Secondly, it doesn't translate well to other languages. The actually definition is more then often used in a way that would not define this speaker very well.

venâ‹…ue
â€‚ â€‚/ËˆvÉ›nyu/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [ven-yoo] Show IPA Pronunciation

–noun 1. Law.

a. the place of a crime or cause of action.

How about a name that fits the sound of this particular speaker?...Such as;

-Colossus

-Momentous

-Grandiose

-Leviathan

-Sovereign

-Monumental

In the vein of a common naming scheme for all things big (e.g. the AV123 Rocket center channel, Bigfoot; the Mark Seaton subwoofer Sasquatch, etc.), you could call it the Yeti.

Something else that I think sounds good is "the Smile". It sounds right for some reason.

Danny,

I got one! How about Continuum?

I found the definition as follows:

Continuum (theory), anything that goes through a gradual transition from one condition, to a different condition, without any abrupt changes or "discontinuities".

This is what we are in search of anyway, the reproduction of sound from a specific Medium without change from induced colorations and with the same dynamics.

What do ya think?
