Never seen those before, bet they sound impressive. You could park a car in that bass horn!

Wow, those are er...quite big. It seems that to have a really full range horn system you need both a baronial hall and a wife (should you have such a thing) who is not too concerned about classic interior design.

Makes a change from black or silver though!

Got this from the original facebook link

"The Tweeters are Acapella's astonishingly good plasma units"

It shows how huge those speakers are. The Acapella tweeter is actually a pretty big unit and it looks tiny in the photo. It's the gold unit and the mouth is 12" across.

Check this link out: http://www.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/a_special_tweeter/

I've heard this tweeter and it is amazing. $80,000 a pair according to the article. It's very strange sitting in front of a speaker that has a pulsating purple 'flame' deep in the horn throat. It's actually a plasma field, like the old Ionofane tweeter.

Those look like they are from Electronluv. Amazing looking things. They make some fantastic looking amps too.
