Congratulations on your award Nelson.

"Lifetime Technological Contribution to Community Broadcasting
Poul Kirk receives 2010 award" - Elan Audio Manufacturers and Distributors of Professional Broadcast Equipment
That's my Papa, I note some resemblance in coiffure lol.
I'm third generation audio specialist, working on an award of my own.
Dan.
Thank you Nelson.
Such a humble unassuming room.
I have seen systems where so much money has been spent.
And with (for me) no involvement or enjoyment in the results.
Question if I may.
What happened to your L300's ?

Kent and my sister have them. I do have a pair of JBL Array 1400's, though.
OK, here's what the sound room looks like this morning.
Hi Nelson
Are the super tweeters on top of the tannoys to improve the off axis response in the treble region.
I've started to form the opinion that any driver that produces frequencies over 15kHz is virtually pointless except where it might be responsible for improving the off axis performance or may produce a smoother/flatter (even slightly rising is ok if it's smooth) frequency response between 7.5 kHz and 15kHz.

They are not connected. I just like having them around.
Great picture and commentary by Norm Thaggard from NASA.That was my sister. Since you are curious, here are shots of other stuff
on the walls.

You can never have too many toys for experimentation.
Who know Andrea Pivetta's "SPACE AMP" ?
even the smaller devices from his model range kooks interesting. Go to

Nice one.
I use a air ioniser to free the air from dust.
Subjectively highs sound better.
Im use 3 devices that not only mellow the sound via absorption, but disperse said sound improvements about the house, and, they are self powered and patrol the premises continually.
Only problem is they need fed and have their litter boxes cleaned regularly.
They also adjust power amps to maximal temperature by controlling it's ventilation vents by laying on top of amp.

according this site Ultrasound's Otello for 600.000 $ now only in 3rd placeIf you can't be the best, then be the most expensive.

I read:
The “Opera Only” Project from Andrea Pivetta
|Andrea Pivetta is an Italian designer who over the last 2 decades has worked with numerous leaders from companies across various business industries.
Pivetta “Opera Only” is the latest creation from Andrea Pivetta. This amazing piece of art follows his original piece in the
field of sound – a multi-channel amplifier titled “Pivetta Opera One.”
“Opera Only” is based on intuition, imagination and genius solution. It’s a fascinating piece that uniquely crosses between
both sophisticated technology and art.
The size of “Opera Only” is impressive but required due to the fact it pumps out a staggering 160,000 watts. In addition,
Andrea Pivetta also wanted to create something very special and unique from a visual point of view.
Andrea Pivetta’s mission is to simply offer a unique product. He feels his customers want solutions that are tailored just for them.
The external structure is constructed of aircraft aluminum. Cleverly thoughtout, its openings or connections are not visible
from the outside.
This mightly amplifier can handle any speaker load. With transducers of equivalent stature, it can convey profound sonic
beauty.
The Pivetta “Opera Only” openly reflects the expression of creativity and equally complemented by the inside high-quality
audio technology.
It’s definitely an impressive visual. Consisting of a black 12-sides prism, its structure actually changes completely once the
device is turned on. Divided into six distinct sections to unveil all the internal electronics at a glance.
The price tag is not available at this time, but is quite steep. Any owner will quickly realize the value and be able to
experience extreme audio luxuries.
Are there clones from one of Andrea Pivetta's models as diy project realized ?

according the images underWas it ever built? Or its just a concept. The picture looks computer generated.

(from an exhibition) I don't think so.
yes, but only simplified schematic.You are right, its built. Are you ordering?
Children's planet?
Is this not a complementary-push-pull, multistage, build up with TO-3-transistors, sand-cast wire resistors and so on amplifier?
May be it is the worstsounding amp ever;-)

what means the term "long"?Ultrasound company is long gone...
in the year 2019 this company was still online:

Pandemic seems like a long time. If it does not to you, fine. If i offended you by the word "long" , i appologize.
