View Full Version : The "Beak"

The Shape
"The 'Beak' is precision milled in a strictly prescribed form. The shape
controls resonance and emanation. These distortions occur within a
strict range. The beak can actually channel common distortion and move
it through its cavity to the discharge point on top. Hence its shape and
name. Like the beak on a bird or whale channels sound; This Beak
channels the negative effects created by box shaped speaker housing. A
Speaker is round and the housing is box shaped; the beak helps resolve
this contradiction."

I looked at Totem's web site. More amusement on that site than I have had
in a long time.

Maybe the phase plug fell off the speaker and he didn't know where it
went.

Yes! And then as soon as he puts the "beak" on top of the speaker, his
wife (who is
standing in another room) blurts out "My God, what have you done to make
your stereo sound so good?"
