Wondering if anyone can identify the speaker in this screen grab

Rick Beato recently interviewed Keith Jarrett at Mr. Jarrett’s home in New Jersey. At one point there was a brief and partial shot of what I think is the loudspeaker they were listening to. (it appears above Mr. Jarrrett’s shoulder in the screen grab)

I’m wondering if anyone knows what speaker that might be ? Mr. Jarrett is well-known for being very picky about the playback equipment he uses - just wondered what he might be using in his own home.

So - if he is still using the Avalon Eidolon Diamonds then he has had those for a very long time. But - at that price (over 30K I think) - hopefully you wouldn't get the urge to swap them out in a year or two.

That Rick Beato interview is quite good by the way - Jarrett actually plays a few things with just his right hand (after his strokes, he no longer has the use of his left hand).

Many musicians have garbage systems.

A garbage system that can sound good enough to verify quality of the recording. That is usually the case. To describe an entire situation a second phrase might help a lot indeed. Not all musicians have budget of Taylor Swift and not all musicians have budget of even an ordinary IT specialist.
