For what the speaker costs, and the profit they make on it, they could
easily pay a native-English-speaking copywriter to create effective
advertising. That they don't, shows they don't care what kind of image
they
present. I would not normally buy products from such a company.

I loved the line about the effectiveness of biwiring in controlling
back-EMF
had been proved by lenz [sic]! (Lenz has been dead for some years.) In
fact,
biwiring should have no effect on the back-EMF "seen" by the amplfier.

speakers have that problem!"

No, they don't. Planar dipoles don't.

If Tesla were alive, he'd probably sue for having his name attached to
this
product.

I wish JGH were still alive, so I could call him and we could read the ad
together, and laugh our heads off.

If you have US$13K to spend on a speaker, you can buy something much
better...

I don't have a spare $13K to spend on anything, let alone wasting it on
some hyped up bogus speaker, yes, William I was kidding ;-)

I was actually looking for some good speakers when I came across the ad,
but seriously though, the whole audio sector is so overhyped, I know a
couple of guys developing speakers, and the way they go on, its more
magic than physics. I'd like to see a pro review of those speakers, they
may well sound great, but so far I've not found anything. The Quads look
good but again way out of my price range.

You might want to look at the higher end Paradigm speakers. Some of
their under $2k speakers sounded better than a $20k speaker we used to
sell at an upscale audio salon. Chuck
