Post by jon on May 29, 2020 15:09:46 GMT 12RIght I saw this ad on TM I was somewhat bemused by the price... does anyone buy at that price? However intrigued I looked further.  Sculptured Sound is a new startup, based in Canterbury, and has history constructing other things! Do go and have a look. I wish them luck, I sure cannot afford the speakers.

Boat builder by design, and they do look superbly made and finished.
Main Drivers, (passive) Sensitivity: 104dB (2.83 V @ 1m) extremely efficient. Bass Drivers, (active) SEAS L26RO4Y 236mm (10”) Subwoofers (2 x drivers per cabinet) Hypex FA502 1000 Watt class-D amplifier (per side). But the shape does remind me of something...

For that sort of coin you could get yourself a nice pair of speakers and a Fender Stratocaster (though probably not a pre CBS 57).

The builder of these is clearly able to create these and not be too concerned about when they sell.
Thats one BIG wedge of money for speakers. Not saying they wouldnt sound very nice but the cabinetry has surely swollowed a huge chunk of the asking price. Good luck in these uncertain times!

Sadly neither of those are reviews. Hopefully that will come.
