Yes, yes and no. And if you can't afford them, there's always these...

As the title suggests Andrew...... So are they as good as they look and do they warrant the kings ransom ?

It was quite a while ago, but I remember they were very impressive.

If you google them, you'll find some information.

Similar note... I have heard a pair of Gryphon Poseidons. They're a dual box 2 meter high active floorstander with about 17 or so drive units per channel. They were incredibly impressive, although I don't think they warranted the 170,000 euro (or similar) price tag.

Presumably they stay stuck to the floor if your room tips upside-down?

So they would be 'Lotto' but not rollover speakers?

Of course, if your room did tip upside-down, there would probably be more to worry about than what your speakers are doing!

When I googled them I couldn't find any technical specifications, nor any frequency response measurements.

Low chair, perhaps?

they look huge, not sure how tall they really are.

 

[Andrew Everard]

Much smaller than the B&W Nautili. Around a metre or so tall, IIRC.

Not really 'much' smaller, the Nautilus are only 1.2m tall.

Re: the 10hz comment. That was measured at -6db. Still incredibly impressive though, many/most subs cant even match that!

In which case, the Forgings speakers may be smaller than I recall: I remember they were considerably smaller than the B&Ws.

But to get back on topic, I'd possibly have a pair of these:
