I know I made fun of these in a recent thread ... .
In a bout of boredom (rare) I trawled youtube for some devine inspiration and the phantom sprang to mind.
Youtube may not be the best reference for sound quality but there are some seemingly seriously impressive videos about the french eggs and they seem to be easily able to pressurize very large rooms (a hall in one instance) with what sounds like low distortion sound (given the limitations of youtube sound quality).
I can't say anything about refinement of sound but loudness and bass seems ... well, impressive.
Perhaps I shouldn't have made fun? Maybe I'll eat my words.
£4k is not exactly cheap (for two) but there are cables costing more than that. A Schmegel H360 without any speakers is about the same and I somehow doubt it could do the same thing unless the speakers are very, very sensitive plus perhaps a sub. Some very clever engineering has gone into these.
I still don't quite like the looks but that is my personal phobia about eggs (or more to the point, peeling them). However, they look peeled already so I'm good with that.
