Traveling light this year I used the Canon EOS M3 + 22mm F2 + 90ex flash.

Silly me I tried to see all the rooms in 6 hours on Sunday.

Sonus Faber/Pass Labs

Thanks for looking!

 Panhead, these are some great pics. Note that if you click "Preview Message" after you chose a photo, you can add another photo to the same post; in this way, you can put multiple photos in a single post.

 LOL. This one looks diseased to me for some reason, or like some sort of biological growth.

 I know their stuff is top notch,and I really would like to hear their speakers someday, but I've never been a fan of their designs.

 One has to wonder how many elements of this design simply are not necessary to the sound.

 I have been highly disappointed by MBL at past shows. This sounded as good as anything. I guess you have to be a fan of omni speakers, did own the Ohm Walsh 4s in the distant past.

 I think I could be a fan of the speakers (I like Magnepan), but the MBL components are not my cup of aesthetic tea, so to speak--some of them look like washers and dryers to me.

 Something special about this photo--and elegant simplicity that hides the complexity of the engineering.

 I think they look like Protoss towers or something. But they sound great.

 It's what the Bose engineers came up with after they got trashed at last year's Christmas party. :)

 Hey panhead, thanks for the pic posts! You spent more time doing that than I would have - I'm too lazy.

Thanks again!

:)

 Henning Moeller from B&K did ab optimized loudspeaker design hanging the loudspeaker from a suspension. The idea is to NOT transmit vibration into non-linear surfaces.

Beautiful in this implementation.
