killdozzer Audioholic Samurai Aug 14, 2020 #63 I used to really like the finish on these: They are the Tannoy DC10T. I've never heard them. I just realized that Tannoy often puts the driver diameter in its name.

I guess they didn't sell enough of these dual 10" woofer towers.

In '99 or so, I won a pair of Wilson Audio CUB II speakers from a fledgling internet site called "Audio Revolution" (which became "AudioVideoRevolution" and is now "Home Theater Review"). They (then) retailed for $7500 and I was VERY excited to have a Wilson Audio product! I hated them... From that day on, even with lottery type winnings, I will never buy a WA product. My local WA dealer has assured me that they are totally different, but I can't get the bad taste out of my ears (?).

ryanosaur Audioholic Overlord Aug 14, 2020 #77 I've heard some people bash on Wilson. I suspect they sound good, but not equal to the price. The conversations I've heard seem to focus on XO design and voicing not being well executed. *shrugs regardless, they aren't for me.

BoredSysAdmin Audioholic Slumlord Aug 14, 2020 #78 The Speaker Company TST3 (largely based on The Sapphire Audio ST3) had dual 8" woofers (I rock it's smaller brother TST2) Still not bad speakers for the money, full of compromises for sure, but a fair ones.

I've used all my $50k worth of speaker wire testing equipment to come to the conclusion that $7k/pair AudioQuest cables are hands down the best investment one could make. Of course, they sounded the best after their break-in period. Don't worry, I used all my Dynamical Systems and Numerical Analysis math equations to make sure everything was correct and accurate.

I doubt there's any intellectual property there, and even if there was the patents would be long expired. I don't know if the general shape can be trademarked, but I once read that Apple had patented or trademarked even small details of their hardware products.
