Who's going to pony up for a pair of these?

I've seen those ... they're made by DC 10 Audio. They have lower range models that pop up on Agon and eBay every once in a while for fairly good prices. They also use a unique tonewood diaphram that resonates as sort of an active baffle (I think they use it in pretty much every model).

Anyways, I've never heard them in person, but the wood work looks exceptional and they are pretty high efficiency enough to bedriven by the Decware Super Zen.

This is their Berlin R with AlNiCo drivers at 96dB @ 8 ohms ... not too shabby looking IMO!

The Kabuki is pretty sexy as well and got best of show in Munich 2015 ~ though $16,500 for a pair ... :-/

Wow...those speakers are massive (512 lbs for the Odin)!

The Kabuki are heavy too (170 lbs), but pale in comparison to the Odin. They are quoting 18-80,000Hz for the Kabuki, which is insane. No reference to +/- dB though.

Thanks for sharing!

I like the look of the Berlin, would be interested to hear how they sound compared to the ERRx...

I'm not a huge fan of the look of the Gotenburg

I'll stick with my HR-1s. I think they look better, and I love the sound. And I save a few hundred thou.

I could rock those Kabuki - if they were affordable...
