^Planning to go to that show at SF MOMA! Cool pics in Manila...thanks for sharing.

 

Looks interesting and I plan to go! Here's additional information about the exhibit:

I was at the 2022 NYC Lisson Gallery exhibit and had a great time.

I hope you guys enjoy the SFMOMA art of noise show as well!

 

I was watching a youtube video that had nothing to do with audio and this image came up

 

You know what feature of HF's forums that I wish this site had? a gallery thread view for all pictures posted to a thread.

 

Got to hear this system thanks to a friend.
Field coils are truly awesome!

 

Bright blue/purple glow... are those coils using mercury rectifiers?

 

That’s just the class d amps for the subs. Did bring some ambiance.

 

I’m jealous! I recognize that system from Steve Guttenberg’s video from a few years ago:

Do you know if he’s made any changes since then?

 

My buddy had field coils in his Edgar Horn Titan system, truly something special that words can't even begin to describe. Ridiculous amount of speed, clarity, smooth, quick, accurate transients, and stupidly deep fast BASS... 2ch done absolutely right

 

I was rewatching House MD and I saw these speakers in his office. Anyone know what they are? Also would like to know what the turntable is



In later seasons these speakers are swapped for ones with a big ribbon

 

The turntable is a Sota.

 

With a Rega arm:

I did a deep dive and I found out that they are part of a Philips home theater system. specifically the MX5600 and other packages



I thought it might have been some sort of open baffle but they absolutely are not. The drivers are in self-contained modules. Purely form over function

 

For whatever reason, I find these super attractive, almost caress-able :-D

I have a thing for BMR drivers. Seeking treatment...

 

Makes me think of someone hugging their knees...

 

That's what I was thinking. Also known as an air traffic control trainee having a bad day.

 

I think it's supposed to.

 

I just saw this performance by Doechii on Colbert and the set designer was definitely inspired by Devon Turnbull

From the side it's a fancy wooden horn...


From the front though...
