$900 for a point? He should have just gone for a cool $1k. Wow.

Has anyone compared with Wave Kinetics which are $800/4?

Thanks

You will never be done :D:D

just out of curiosity, i probably will try them next time i get a chance...but i am so happy with where we are, i have moved on to tackle a much bigger source of vibration. We shall see.

I think they are a cool $1K if you include the footer/base or hat?. IOW, $8K for a pair of speakers.

If adding them to a Sasha (or S3) makes it sound like an Alexia (or S5), it may be worth it ;) Seriously, these may be more appropriate for a $80K+ speaker (10% of cost).

At this price one is close to Vibraplane or Minus K territory if considering three of these under a piece of electronics or DAC.

No doubt someone will find a way to install a mid size sedan worth of these in his system for a truly transformative sonic experience.

These were announced at CES last year. Compared to the Ultra 5, they have an additional technology pocket on the bottom side (bringing the total number of pockets to 6). They need to be screwed in or used with the optional bases.

I tried the Wave Kinetics under both speaker and amps and didn't hear a difference. The Stillpoints are the real deal!!

They don't look much different than the 5's. Looks like the same amount of technology pockets as well. Will these replace the 5's or be an addition to the current line of products?

I'm not replacing my 5's but if I need more I will try the 6's...most likely when I pull the trigger on the pass xs pre.

Look at the pictures and read the description more closely ;)
