Hi Mike,

Have you heard them yet. I see they tout the new high end tweeter! Let us know how it sounds if you hear a pair...$6K a set. 108db max volume.

Not yet.

What am I missing?

Why would anyone need 4,500 watts to drive a 108db speaker?

Unless my math is off, that puts the efficiency at 73db/1 watt/1 meter.

The only way to achieve deep bass in a tiny enclosure.

Well I'm pretty sure that "4500 watts" is distributed among a couple drivers.
Can one plug it into a regular wall outlet?

cheers,

It must run HOT! But Gold is a great conductor, no?
