Steve Guttenberg doesn't usually like active speakers, but he likes the ELAC Navis ARB-51.

In fact, he liked them much more than the KEF LS50 Wireless loudspeakers.

" He (Andrew Jones) has made an active loudspeaker that even an aduiophile would love. "

Tell us more about those speaker stands / truck axle stands...

Custom stands are powder coated steel, sand or resonant grain fillable with adjustable spikes, made for Harbeths for a customer paid for them and then he wanted black,

Go figure
