Anyone knows these speakers?

Purifi Drivers - Very Interesting

The producer of the Speakers in the Link, recently got a few nice accolades at an audio industry show recently attended.

@aewarren I can see where someone can say they look gorgeous... because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They do look to be very solidly made using very expensive materials such as solid slate or granite on the sides and mahogany wood on the front plates. Also, you can bet your last dollar that they are gorgeously priced for just the cabinet materials alone. The drivers look to be in house most likely, although I have seen similar drivers in other high-end speakers at shows. Either way if they're gorgeous to anyone else or not looks like you have good taste and I'm sure they sound great if put in the right room that they were made for. From what I can see you will need an amplifier with plenty of headroom in wattage to bring them alive such as an amplifier that starts out in Class A and continues into Class A/B and a large room with most likely no subwoofer at all. Usually if something like High End Speakers looks good, they will most likely sound good if everything is put in the right order and place. Although that can be very SUBJECTIVE to some without actually hearing the speaker. But as for me, I think they most likely sound as good as they look.

Good day and Peace To ALL

@blackbird55 You have put it very nicely how my thinking went, much better than I could have ever expressed it. Exactly that. Thank you!

And I am already in what I personally consider audio heaven. Shahinian Hawks powered by a boutique Austrian made Artkustik stack developed specifically for the Hawks, bi-amped, fantastic pre-amp. I listen to large scale orchestral music, this is what the Hawks have been made for.

Even if I had very deep pockets....no temptation here. I was merely curious.

@shahinianhawk Sounds great... keep listening. And don't buy anything new unless you absolutely have the need to. DON"T CHASE THE DRAGON WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE THE FIRE AND SPEED OF THE HAWKS  ENJOY!

GOOD DAY AND PEACE TO ALL.

I have a history where I take my audio system to events where the Public attends and a listening space for my audio system can easily seat 15-ish visitors to a room and approx' 8-ish visitors standing. For simplicity 20 Visitors in a room at any one time.

My Space used at an event where up to 500 paying guests have attended has been continuously full, and with visitors much increased to the 20 suggested. 

My audio system is mostly a custom-designed and commission-built system. Aesthetics are the lower end of the priorities; volume for the design to build the circuitry in is the priority. Powder Coated Painted finishes suffice for me. 

Aesthetics do not hold any attendee to a Space that my audio system is exhibited in. Sound produced and the want of a visitor to hear other sounds being produced is what holds them. A selection of visitors who are unknown before the event are noted for taking up residency in the Space for the duration of the event.

As I have not got a system with an aesthetic that may be deemed desirable, I can't comment on how 'pleasing to the eye' may have influenced the holding power of visitors to the Space.;
