any comments?

 

[raypalmer]

quite the cavalier approach...

 

[SY]

Minimalism.

 

[infinia]

Quite the showcase for a fine finish carpenter?

 

[okapi]

is that coil of red wire on the floor part of the crossover?

 

[Geek]

Hm, intriguing.

 

[PeteMcK]

a bit off the wall for me...

 

[Fenris]

A very open baffle design....

 

[tinitus]

Why not
It will certainly sound better than the TV on its own

But obviously a guy who is tired of "hifi"
You dont make a setup like that without any experience

I got it...

Well, the guy I think is considering himself as a guru audiophile or whatever. I was just curious to see is there's any known concept behind it. Drivers being positioned about 18 inches from a hard back wall don't exactly qualify for a dipole idea either. I am going to try to find out if there's any active equalization involved.
All that aside from being ridiculously looking.

WOW The overall decor in the room really sets them off The T.V. is centered nicely as well

I am actually belly laughing at the moment.

 

[trusound]

it makes baby jesus cry

 

[tinitus]

Well, the man is obviously not stupid

Might not be dipole, but who says it should be

Think about it, the drivers are single point coupled to the wall, which may be a massive brickwall
Thats a lot of weight

Might be more to it than just being simple

TBH If I'm right (old hand at televisions) that's a late 90's Toshiba.

Quite a nice set for it's time... This feller could indeed take his home entertainment seriously.

But I'd be curious to see math and theory behind his arrangement. Any progress Carpenter?

EDIT: NM that's not a Toshiba. RCA maybe?

 

[Sonusthree]

Are the drivers suspended on wires?

 

[R-Carpenter]

not yet. I've asked the guy though.

 

[R-Carpenter]

looks like it's just a wide range driver without crossover.

 

[Andy G]

and one massive single frequency of edge diffraction. ?

Hmmm - three empty poles sticking out from the wall - there might be more speakers yet to come.

I count 5 remote controls.
