Steinway-Lingdorf Model D Speakers CEDIA Video
When you're at events like CEDIA, lots of things catch your eye because of the sound... or because someone grabs your sleeve, or your ear... or your... something or other. And sometimes you see something that just makes you stop. Well that happened to me just outside of the Steinway Lingdorf room at the 2012 CEDIA Expo. We saw the red Model D speakers (aptly named after the piano). Full range dipoles, these $150,000/pair speakers just make you want to play them. Around the back you can see the speakers are a completely open baffle design. To me, even if these weren't' turned on I'd still want to stand near them and just sigh...

Reminds me of the Linkwitz Orion or old Audio Artistry speakers designed by Linkwitz, except 100x prettier.
Are these Steinway active and require 8 Channels of amps like the Orion?

Pocket change for a billionaire.
You don't think billionaires bother with measly $20K speakers, do you?

The amps are built in. This is an active speaker.

Oh, I just hate built-in integrated amps.
So if I'm a billionaire and I wanted to use my $200K amps, I wouldn't be able to do that.
Cross these speakers off my list immediately.

You should buy them, get angry about the integrated amps, and have me remove them for you. I assure you, I will have them play music they find distasteful and commit other tortures (why yes, you do have to play the audio for Ed Wood again) so as to properly punish them for you.Oh, I just hate built-in integrated amps.

Oh. I may need some money to build a home theater... err... torture dungeon for them.

My wife and I sat down for a demo of this system at CEDIA and had to walk out after about 1 minute because they were blasting it beyond ear bleeding levels and it was way too bright and harsh. The rep bragged about how low the noise floor of the system was yet I was wondering why if that was the case they had to play it so loud?
