It's well known that reducing cabinet resonance is important and they may have accomplished that, but esthetically these leave me STONE cold unimpressed...


From MONO AND STEREO
Gemstone Gemini three-way sealed speakers with Illuminator tweeter, Satori Textreme midrange, and Scan-Speak 10" aluminum woofer.

 You can see the "basketweave" of the Thin Ply Carbon ribbons.

Going by the drivers, those loudspeakers should sound first-class.

Although some might prefer the SB Acoustics Satori Beryllium tweeter.

 Its superior components notwithstanding, I'd like to find out how much the hernia surgery would be.

 I needed one after moving some very heavy subwoofers a couple years ago.
Ans, about $45,000 using a robot called Davinci.

 Hi
Slowly we are, it was hard getting the amplifier situation and production quantities going. Right now all of those sales are in the recording area.

The current speakers are on the back row of the middle cover (but not the floor standing ATC's)

 So, do you want the best sound possible or are you worried about aesthetics? In fairness these don't always accommodate each other. I don't care for the looks of them either, but I would love to hear them. Plus if they were painted black they would look as good as many speakers that are not woodgrain.

 Compared to some of the other monstrosities we see in this industry, I don't think they look bad at all.
And, they might be a decent sounding set of speakers.
