    Thanks for the links there Stéphane.

    It's a very impressive project although I don't care at all for the looks.

    It looks like the drivers alone are $8764.
    They are tapered like a turd but there is still something vaguely familiar that I like.

    Yes, I had never seen either of them before, but I too prefer the look of the USHER speakers below to the organic pod look of the first ones posted.

    I think they are just great

    The design is something new, I appreciate that much more than just cloning something designed by others.

    The artist is just ahead of his time.

    Very true but he spent over $9k and ended up with something that looks like half a cockroach stood on end.

    Gotta love the photo of the fancy horns and tube amp being fed by an MP3 player.

    It's an I-Pod could be loaded with Apple Lossless. It is funny though would expect a R2R or a turntable.
    Watch out for those fullrangers about the size of a dust cap on a 15". Bass in spades with those horns!
