I also want to thank Brian for a lot of help and fantastic customer support. My order for these dipoles are in the cherry finish but will not be ready for two months. So he shipped me a pair of loaners as you see in panino black. I also inflicted damage on one of my RM2 and he walked me through the repair. I truly appriciate his efforts and kindness.
Thanks big B!

Could you toss us a review of the speakers once you've spent some serious time with them?

How are those supposed to be positioned? I'm thinking that the pictures are showing them horizontally, but that they are actually supposed to be placed vertically. Is the woofer connected to the dual mid/treble section?

wow, they look really nice.

Do you have any specs on them? What are their dimensions?

Wow, those are some strange looking fellas!
They look pricey! What's the MSRP on those babies?

At this time, I think Cametz and another client of mine are the only two with these monsters.

And even I haven't heard them.

Looking for a nice review soon. Just think, 600watts going into those babies should illuminate the side walls a bit

Wshuff.., I am assuming vertically. This would allow the midrange and tweeter sound to go front and back.

Yes, It's all one piece.

3000. in cherry and FTS

What are their dimensions?

Now I have to decide on building a shelf or get stands.

Sorry I don't know how to use the quote feature.

You just

1) click on the "quote"button, then the word "quote" in brackets will appear in the reply, then

2) copy and past the text you wish to quote, behind the bracket and then

3) click on the "quote" button again and it will place another bracketed quote after the text.

It will then appear when posted as the above I just quoted from you.

The Ribbon Dipole stock with spiral ribbon tweeters are $900ea. A pair of FST's brings them to $1300ea. They sound wonderful.

A "political correct" picture is now on the gallery. http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=gallery;area=browse;album=141

On AOL all I get in the Gallery is empty boxes with little red "X"'s in the corners, no photos of the RD. Can you do something?

JoshK · « **Reply #11 on:** 25 Nov 2003, 03:51 pm »

Looks like he moved the gallery... try this...

try this

Brian Cheney · « **Reply #12 on:** 25 Nov 2003, 04:16 pm »

Same deal, empty boxes with little red "X"'s in the corners.

Andrikos · « **Reply #13 on:** 25 Nov 2003, 04:17 pm »

Dump AOL!

Looks fine from both of the ISPs I've tried, Adelphia and the T3 line at work. Must be specific to your ISP (AOL). AOL is one of the most difficult ISPs to work with, IMO. I highly recommend getting a cable provider and a separate , small, local ISP for email. That will eliminate 90% of your spam and allow you to up/down load pics etc. with great ease.

The speaker looks very interesting with the 90 degree offsets on the Ribbons.

Sorry Brain. don't know what the problem is.
Any one would like to tell me how to put a pic in the post I'll try it.

Brian,

I just e-mailed CAMETZ's photos he sent me in an e-mail. See if they show up without the X's
