Not interested, especially if a customer says they want them. I'M not moving them and I assume he thinks they're great- I have watched his videos and he always has some kind of improvement for speakers that are known to sound great.

Two guys came into the stereo store where I worked, late-1978. Their speakers were made from some kind of stone. Looked nice, joints at the corners weren't great and they sounded strange, probably no insulation in the cabinets.

It's easy enough to make an inert speaker cabinet- why make it heavy, too?

LOL, a lot has changed since '78, just look in the mirror...............

All I see is Same ol', same ol'. Really PO'd when I saw the bald spot caused by the last barber, though. But hey, it grows back, right?

Concrete speakers have been surfacing since the 1950s. They are a terrible idea, and not worth the time of day. Good old Gilbert Briggs debunked that in the 1950s!

Yes, they are rigid and don't vibrate, but they have one huge problem, concrete is a selective band pass filter. In other words some frequencies pass through the concrete easily and others don't. So it is not new and still a bad idea, in fact a very bad idea.

a bad idea, so are you implying that unlike my post that you copied about a haircut 'correcting' itself in a couple of weeks these speakers are doomed forever ?

On a serious note I doubt very much that these speakers are of the same 'concrete composition' you speak of from the fifties, regardless, I'd love to hear a pair..........
