They are ugly, but the sound spectacular.
They are ugly, but the sound spectacular. IMO, just a couple of small changes can let them be dropped into the living room where more people can enjoy them.
And besides when I turn out the light and watch in the theater room, do I really give a hoot about what they look like?Anand.
keeping fingers crossed I may have a client that will allow me to take a few abbeys and do something crazy with them for a 7.1 application.. I hope it happens as I have been dying to play with them...
I bet that if you came up with some cool-looking stands for the GedLee speakers that you'd get quite a few people's attention.
Ah yes. It reminds me of the days that I used to deal with the guys that were buying Ferraris. They would sit on a waiting list (1 year) and someone would cancel the order. They could get a car about 1 year earlier but they would piss and moan about the color.My response was simple. When you're sitting in the drivers seat you can't see the color of the car. Why do you REALLY care? You own these cars to drive not to stare at. The look was always Priceless!
Please don't try to retire on making stands.
There are some companies that do very well with stands; so there's money in it.
I hope it's Dr. Geddes approved. Other then paint or veneer I can't imagine what he would agree with doing...
The only real issue I see w/the speakers is the whole WAF factor. I wonder if a few small changes could be made to make them a lot better in this area. Maybe make them floor standing by just extending the cabinet down a bit with a solid wood (or solid MDF) extension toward the floor, and a grill cloth to hide those drivers and foam. Then just veneer the sides and back to give a furniture quality look. I bet that would make them much, much more likely to pass the WAF test.
