    I've heard them work. A couple of the Dallas Audio Club members have them, and so does Vu and High End Audio in Plano. I don't know how room dependent they are, but I've heard it, subtle, but there.

    Cheers,

    For $1,000 and ugly as they are, I hope they are better than subtle.

    On a 60K+ rig, 1K is 'acceptable' for subtle (for most). Is it anything you will see in my humble abode, not likely - monies better spent elsewhere obviously.

    It's all a matter of scale.

    I have heard a plant make the same "difference". Placed correctly of course. It's called reflections and one could do a lot with other options for that kind of money. For example, try folding your arms back behind your head, cupping your ears, MG room tunes, plants, deflectors...............and the list goes on for miles.
    In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

    I'd never heard of Shakti before. Are they the "high-end" division of Machina Dynamica?

    You could buy an awful lot of room treatment for $1000 and have it blend in much better than those ridiculous things.

    The people I know that have them, already have the room treated.
