They do look rather imposing, lol. I will withhold final judgement on their look until I see them in a room or at least in a representative picture.

The sound in the Acapella room at Munich last year was outstanding in my opinion. It didn't seem to get as much love as I would have thought appropriate so obviously not for everyone. I try not to judge on price because there are many speakers that I can't afford, or accommodate for that matter, that I admire. There are even more that I wouldn't purchase even if I had the money, at least judged on my limited exposure at shows and the odd exposure at home/retailer listening.

I won't be at Munich's final year, so I won't see or hear these speakers. I would have liked to have heard them but to be honest they are beyond what I would feel comfortable in spending.
 
Just to get an impression of the dimensions.
...and there is an even bigger one:

LA CATHEDRAL, new 2200mm hyperspherical Horn, 15m Basshorn ! or smaller,
new and unique CUSTOM-made (about 2 years delivery time), including Energèia Amps and Premium Installation

Reservations are the worst thing at Audio shows :cool:

Love them. Real (!) innovators in the field of loudspeakers design!
 
I’m only interested if I can have nine for my home theater.
