Ako nahimatay na sa ganda... Kaya ngayon lang ako nakapag post.... ;)

Matched talaga sa sonus ang wood texture, color at grains...   8)

Personally, I prefer this configuration than single pillar stand... at meron din epekto sa SQ ng speaker...

Mas stable pag 4 pillars. Real wood gives an extra improvement to SQ. Focus and solid sounding.

Wow pre! Baka kunin ng Sonus ang design ng stands mo. Perfect!! I agree the denser the platform the better transparency in sound.

Naku dapat pre ipa-patent ko pala ha ha. Being almost a solid block of hard wood, I noticed significant improvement talaga sa sound.

Hi Lawrence,

Curious ako sa signature photo mo. Do you still have that system?

Is that a Pro-Ject TT and Pathos amp?
