If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

I used to subscribe to Playboy magazine. I enjoyed looking at the pretty women much more than the less attractive ones although I knew I could never afford them.
Erik,
You stirred 2 nests with one post. The diminishing return battle and the recently introduced pandemic war of opening up society. Individuals touting freedom and capitalistic winners against worry warts who espouse luxury is a sin. Broad strokes but lot of skirmishes and skinned knees to be had in between.  Not to mention our deluded ringmaster raising the temperature. 
 Gulp,

It may be challenging to find the only standmount- B 01-I refer to as simply spelling the Borresen-Acoustic.com web site is a daunting task.

I cut and pasted this:

BØRRESEN 01
2 way Compact Monitor Loudspeaker

This 2 way speaker will tell the story, playing with unbelievable power, musical richness and ease.

The beautiful finish with walnut veneer is flawlessly crafted and flows lightly on its stand, making the 01 a desirable furniture in all modern homes.


awarren poses an analogy which is pretty much the last word on why 
we need to drool. 
Well done sir!!
