They are Triffid.

Looks like they're about to blow a big raspberry. I'm pretty sure I mistakenly tried to buy one of the big white ones a drink recently. 

These two would certainly be interested in having a listen.

Apparently they were one of the stars at the recent Warsaw Audio Show. Powered by some exotic Polish-made tube amps.
Another start was a Statement running into........ wait for it.... wait..... Monitor Audio Platinum II 500

Missed the show this year - business trip to China.

 

I would have loved to gone to that show.....

Apparently it's the second biggest audio show in Europe, after the Munich one. That was a surprise....

It is so large nowadays, they had to run in 3 hotels and the National Stadium this year.

Maybe next year I just might go.....by the description it makes the Bristol show seem a bit 2nd Division... 

I have  been in Warsaw at couple of years ago

Interesting city

When are the next show planned ?

Would consider Bristol too. This is late february if memory serve

Ah, the good old "Yosemite Sam" speakers from Jadis. And no, this is not their real name.

Regarding the White ones, I agree with Winky.

B Lund, the Bristol show is the end of February and I think the Warsaw show is first week of November.

Typically end of October or early November.

I just googled them to get an idea how big they are. They're bloody huge. 

That's going to be expensive when it comes to replacing the flowers.

just wanting to canvas opinion on these beauties, apparently the reviews are extremely good.

They are Horns Universum mk111.

You do realise they're only nine inches high? The first ever truly desktop horn speaker.

The real answer is in the unit of measurement.

Wow beauties, at shows the horns of avant-garde accoustic always impress me from a sound perspective, if these sound as good, they would become a steal...... while I a, so fond of my Verity Audios that I will have to consider a different Christmas Extravaganz .....

.....yes I haven't had any regrets of buying my speakers. They are very natural and basically amplify the Naim qualities. I would recommend anybody to put them on the shortlist for consideration, assuming one is prepared to spent the required amount of money.

You get what you pay for I think, you must be very very pleased with them...

I had a listen to these at the Windsor HiFi show a few weeks back. Look a bit mad to me but have to admit I really enjoyed the sound, one of the few rooms that caused me to stop and listed to a few more songs than I had originally planned.

I can never quite understand why the design of these speakers  works so well, it just should not work......it should not sound really good.....but somehow  it does...
