Does this image give you claustrophobia?

Has anyone else noticed the Ortofon cartridge box on the centre mid shelf, but no turntable in sight?

Can you imagine, how those 64 x midranges and 40 x tweeters could possibly all work in perfect unison without any smearing at all??? they’d have to be ultra matched not to.

From a reviewer " these speaker didn't quite convey the intimacy or focus of say a traditionally well engineered two way system in a near-field environment,"

Looks like that is where Tekton got their "idea" for their tweeter array.

Different strokes for different folks. WAY too much equipment,speakers set up next to a floor to ceiling entertainment center. I can't imagine very good imaging. Not my cup of tea.

Are those McIntosh speakers with the gazillion midrange drivers?

Ye gads.  I high end store used to sell an expensive iteration of those years ago and they were consistently the most awful sounding speakers in the store. Quality-wise, they reminded me of a big version of a cheap boom box midrange...but just tons of them sending a wall of that bland, grey, low quality tone at me.

Not long ago I was in a high end store that had one of the newer versions of the McIntosh speakers - yet again with the multiple mid drivers.  I threw on some of my CDs and...there it was.  Exactly that awful presentation as I remembered it from years before.  Completely devoid of anything resembling organic, believable or high quality tone.  Just "sound" and lots of it.  (Again, I have no idea of the quality of drivers they use, but the sonic impression to me is that of taking the cheapest drivers from a boombox or cheap sub-sat speaker, placing a lot of them in a box, and just getting a big sonic presentation of low quality sound).
