Another request, Marten will be there with their new Coltrane Supreme S2. Should be a hell of a speaker.

My first thought there was "cool... why did they put lights on a speaker?"

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

Lol yeah those aren't lights. It's a new aluminum dome driver that they started using recently, co-developed with Accuton.

AK240 would be interesting as well.  Initial price estimates range from $2400 in the US to equivalent of $3700 in China.  It is also a mess as a unit that is supposed to be portable.

Yeah I figured that was the most likely thing. Either that or some may have been passive radiators.

Could you stop by the Light Harmonic booth to see if they have a prototype PCB of the geek pulse to demo?  I backed it so I want to know if it sux :P

Second AK240. The balls on those guys. I wonder if next year there'll be an AK480 for $5,000. You know because why not?
