    Speakerless sound. Ha.

    Because I'm sure a taped and sealed 4x8 sheet of draywall makes a stunningly pistonic and uncolored speaker driver:

    SolidDrive creates audio technology that transforms surfaces into sound sources. SolidDrive's sound transducers produce quality sound at further distances.


    Something to upgrade to Bose from.

    Say whaaaaaaat? Yes, sound energy causes solid surfaces to resonate. The reverse is hardly efficient. :nonod:

      I saw something like this a couple years ago... It "works" but it's far from an audiophile solution :roll:

        Marketing Suggestion

        Too bad it isn't called the Sensational Hidden Inwall Transducer... that would probably tell prospective buyers all they need to know. :>)

          It's worse than you think. :nonod:

          IIRC, a few years back there were several threads in another major audio forum about some guy (in Chicago, possibly?) that swore he could "tune" his room via adjusting the tension on his sheetrock wall by tightening and loosening the screws holding the sheetrock to the studs. I kid you not. The story was backed up by some people that claimed to have heard the guy demonstrate it. I don't believe it was a joke as I remember some comments started to get a bit heated as people debated it.

          YMMV (and probably will).

            Many years ago there was a device called a 'Star Transducer'. Anything you attached it to became a speaker. The SQ was terrible.

              With long term listening, all constant directivity waveguides I’ve heard -including mine- sound “hot”. EQ helps, but program details are usually sacrificed to achieve a pleasant in-room balance. Naturally...

              Hi, so I am in the market for some new floorstanders as an upgrade to my recently sold 805S. I have already budgeted money for either the 804S or 803S. While auditioning both I also listened to some other speakers, just to make sure I truly wanted to stay with B&W. Of course there are many other...

              New Full Range Three Way Project - longish post
              by ChrisGraeff
              Over the past few years I have auditioned a number of speakers spanning the universe of prices. One of my favorites was the Eggleston Andra - version one. While not the most uncolored speaker I've heard it's performance from 1000 hz down was excellent. The Dynaudio 30W driver handled the lowest frequencies...
