Wood Cones, JVC EX-A1 $550


Just curious if anyone has heared this thing yet. They have a small artical about it in the Aug 2004 issue of Playboy.
This minisystem has those wooden cones that are made by soaking them in Sake.

Anyone heared this yet? impressions?

Im curious if we will start seeing more wooden speakers on the market soon.

Drunk Drivers? A.A. member beware? Must show I.D. to purchase?

Is GUIPETTO the new engineer at JVC?

I wouldn't watch the Dvd animated movie "ANTS" on this system. Also wouldn't the drivers need to be constantly conditioned with oil, so they do not dry rot?

If your listening to Solti's Romantic Russians, would a pre-soak of Vodka bring out a better sound? Finally a purpose for all those Airline mini-bar bottles? Anyone for Scotch with Bag Pipes?

Slappy, I can see you now reading your articles in playboy one night, while stress cracking your wooden driver with the low end of Hip-Hop only to post a new thread titled

"Wood Filler Assistance 4 My JVC's".

Slappy, if you buy this system kindly change your Audiogon member name to PINOCHIO! :0)~
hahahahaha

well, wood supposedly has real good accoustical propertys. Figure it would sound good.

Jond, i must admit, that is the first article i ever read in playboy. ;)
I use wood blocks under most of the components. So far my favorite is poplar; a exotic wood that does not absorb water; sonically it is exceptional.
Well i will tell you about my SAKE SOAKED CONES from my JVC speaker system. The 4" woofer made out of wood is SOLID in the bass and the tweeters are SMOOTH and they are VERY RARE. you need to come with a real amp to make them sing, i have two sets one set can be biamped , I put my tubes on the tweeters and my Nelson Pass on the woofers, and take a SIP of my SAKE and the world is mine!!!!
