Guess the price

Post by DRuM »

I would like each and every one of you thousands of quake3world members that post here everyday to make an estimated guess at the price of these speakers I'm thinking of buying. Here is a photo of one of the pair. The closest to the price will get a holiday for 2 in Syria, a free swim at geoff's shack, and maybe a cookie. :)

Pretty much yeah. Here's some info though since you asked so nicely

"The speakers stand 135cms tall and 27cms wide, presumably at the widest point of its curvaceous design, and include integrated amplification, ethernet, analogue, digital and XLR inputs. Each audio channel is served by a 2-inch tweeter and 5-inch midrange firing in opposite directions, and a ported 8-inch woofer fires downward, resulting in a frequency response from 40Hz to 30kHz (±2dB). The drivers and other internal components are hidden from view by a special acoustically transparent polymer made in a single piece by a 3D printer. Up to five audio sources are connected to an outboard box that houses a DSP engine and 1000W class-D power amp. The DSP lets you select an omnidirectional radiation pattern or a more defined stereo pattern at a specific listening position. It also performs room correction and provides multiroom functionality and audio streaming via Wi-Fi or Ethernet."

Another relevant question is, are you seriously considering buying them? Cause if yes, can't be more than a couple hundred...

Yes, I'm seriously considering them. Definitely a tad more than 200.
So who wants to guess the dollar price for these babies?

Here's some more pics.

It doesn't matter what they cost. It doesn't make them any less ugly.
