You've had a listen too then? Nice aren't they :) I'm after a pair for our office!

That's interesting! As I was going to purchase the ADAM A7X monitors but then I discovered EVE (no joke), its now the rival company to ADAM, for those that don't know! They used to be as one.

Went for the SC207's.

Love those yammies.When I bought my current ARs (30years ago) I had the choice of the ARs, JBL L212s or the NS1000s. It was a close run thing but the yammies would have been a better financial investment - they still fetch very high prices on the s/h market.

okay that is just stupid. Praise and like all you want, but there cannot be a single practical use or necessity for that other than showing how large his wallet is.
What is even more stupid is that wood looks like cheap 18mm spruce plywood and the cab to be barely braced.

Hmmm - a bad sounding sauna.  I suppose if you don't understand how such things work that is what you would do - but looks like money overcame common sense in this case.

If it's being powered properly, I bet it'd shake itself to bits!

Well in fairness someone who has the ability to plan and implement that install must have thought about it quite a lot. DIYaudio is hardly where you go to show off what you just bought. If someone can afford it and wants to build it, good luck
