    Cool Interesting speakers

    I was looking around Audiogon and came across these. Any thoughts? I have no interest in them other than thinking they are wild.

    What an awful looking loudspeaker and I could care less if they sound good or not. Aesthetics have always played a role in my audio quest and subsequent experience.

    Where is Secaucus :D I am in rural NJ so if your talking about the area by NYC I know the area and know to stay clear, pun intended.

    It is beautiful here. Hopefully we'll have snow for Christmas.
