Luc Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah, gave these a trial run in the kitchen as the second system but the Handbrake didn't like the colour, said it clashed so they went back. Sounded fantastic too with the ipod and it's mp3's. :angry: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Did you use Bluetooth streaming @@Luc? That might be why. Try a high quality, directional 3.mm stereo lead, direct. They should sound much better in the kitchen then 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Have a 'like' on me Marc ! I'm on the dog+bone right now as we speak... Hello? Audio Connection? Yeah it's me again, nah, I'm still in one piece and thxs for yer concern can you send them back please? Try putting flowers in the horns, that should get you past her and the front door, cheers. Oh and plaster them with Bose stickers, that'll work for sure. Now about that kidney and my smaller phalanges... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly0071 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It's a clear case of divorce after purchasing these speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 That's potentially a worthwhile decision however @@firefly0071. Single life + speakers. Married + no speakers .... ? I'm not sure I see the problem? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah right. Now just go and grab your missus Marc and show her what you just wrote... Jesus it hurts when they whack you around the ear doesn't it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah right. Now just go and grab your missus Marc and show her what you just wrote... No way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankn Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I can see the DIY brigade saying, no problems we can knock up a version in a few weeks. Subs from Red Spade design, horns from wherever and plasma tweeters well there's a few hanging around on Audiogon or EBay. ClassD for subs and a modded Chinese low watter for the mains - EASY. LoL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I was fortunate to hear those speakers when they were at LWA in Lane Cove, and mere words cannot describe. Unfortunately, Len reduced his store size by 50% and no longer had a room to demo them. He was taking offers for a while, so it would have been possible to negotiate a bargain price, for those with the physical space - and a spare $250k.

Luc Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yes, I remember when Lend Wallet had these. Would it be the same pair do you reckon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Vandelay Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 What is their current price btw? Not sure, but Len had a tag of $500k attached to them back in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I'll stick with my illusory Focal Grande Utopias then. Edit: Actually that made think; What happens to items like these esoterica in extremeis that do the rounds of shows and shop floors and just never sell. Do they eventually go for cheap or are they pulled to bits and broken up or does someone come in and offer 50K for them ten years down the track(or 5K)?
