Binocular look they've got going. The old ones are the P76 of the hifi world and the new binocular look might be their Targa Floria 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an example: These Revel speakers sound fantastic, but the syrupy, uneven glossy finish screams "cheap, poly-coated 7-string guitar" to me. The black driver surrounds also don't suit the veneer at all. If they're going to do glossy wood veneer they need to take a look at some Monitor Audios to see how it's done. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RankStranger Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Dynaudio c4 make my eyes bleed. Just hideous I’ve never herd anyone say a bad word about how Vivid sound but I can’t take them seriously. They look stupid to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyboi Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hmmmm... there sure is some fugly gear pictured here. Perhaps better listened to in a dark room or with the eyes closed? Cheers, Alan R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Transrotor in person in Singapore - It was more hideous live - although it did have a really cool off and on button which was like a airplane throttle.

Ray H Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Not only exceedingly fugly, but at one time considered the worlds most expensive speakers. Look like a gold boxing glove with haemorrhoids. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did try one of their cd players and the sound didn't measure up to expectations so I passed on it. Not the Kraken. Maybe the Forseti looks ok but it is because of the side bars which design probably was stemmed from Chord check out their current DAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re by no means the only culprits and far from the worst but, try harder, guys Edited February 22, 2021 by RankStranger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
