Love it! Different than an IRSV in a way it’s disappearing inspite of its size. I’d buy it (not for my current home but that of my next life). ---

The shipping cost is probably more than the cost of most speakers. 20 crates, and two tons. ---

Might be good for a stadium or arena but for a listening room… yikes I have me doubts… ---

> [@davida](#): > > Might be good for a stadium or arena but for a listening room… > yikes I have me doubts… Reminds me of a print ad from Avantgarde several years back, in which they pictured one of their big horn speakers, maybe one of the Trios or something, in a standard-looking dining room, with one of the dining chairs right in front of the speaker. All I could think of was the poor guest who got that seat, entreating his host, “Please, dear god, I beg of you! Don’t turn on the stereo!” ---

I’d use an LRAD Cannon in that particular instance. ---
