Whats wrong with this picture ? Dumb and dumber
So, maybe someone with no clue will buy these MINT (advertised as such) AR speakers...Mint eh? Good thing they didn't say original because it MIGHT only apply to the boxes...sheesh...
No wonder people get scammed...Like the guy who paid over 500pounds for a PICTURE of an XBOX one...Not the game console...a PICTURE of one...
Maybe I'll find some preamps with the volume knob on the left and sell them as RARE PREAMPS FOR LEFTIES - HARD TO FIND...LOL

Re: Whats wrong with this picture ? Dumb and dumber
Lots of things are made for righties. Even cameras are made for people who are dominantly "right eyed". As any good [especially action] photographer will tell you, you look through the viewfinder with your dominant eye and follow your subject with your non-dominant eye. You never close an eye when looking through the viewfinder. When you do that with a camera, and your dominant left eye is looking through the viewfinder, your right eye is looking at your thumb and index finger on the shutter release.

Is it allowed to post pictures of mint speakers in that condition, Rob?

Re: Whats wrong with this picture ? Dumb and dumber
I like how the individual woofers and midranges are different between the two. I guess that helps balance out the differences between the two!

Michael and I will consider to use this design in our next generation, if we can the rights to use it...
It really looks like we can learn a lot from this design, how to balance out the left and right channel...

If no dedicated sub out on your preamp I was going to suggest REL as they are designed for high level hook ups. Using speaker terminals to hook to opposed to an RCA low level out.
