It's a bit of mystery to me, as the picture was correct on my computer, but when I uploaded it to this site, it places it sideways. I tried several times.

1. You believe that expensive wire makes a serious difference in sound quality;

Clearly this device is an active speaker -

Tweeter at the top of the front panel. . .

Reflex port on the front. . .

Subwoofer on the side. . .

The giveaway was the heat sink fins on the front panel, must be build with a heck of a power amp ;)
