The thing that usually stands out the most is the notion of these
gigantic, 30 inch speakers. What in the world are these things?
Brand name? Cost? Is it even true? If so, can somebody point me to
a place on the web with a few pics of these monsters?

Fostex manufactures or at least recently manufactured a 30". It sounds
OK. Look for sound recording studio websites, several danish studios
have/had custom built systems utilizing these bass drivers in single or
dual configuration.

In all seriousness, there are relatively inexpensive 12 inch speakers that
can move many, many times as much air as these old turkeys. And they'll do
it nicely in a far smaller box, and louder and cleaner.

You haven't heard the Fostex's properly deployed ... but yes, box size
gets to be the issue. Fostex do seem almost to try to avoid exporting
some of their most interesting products, you have to navigate their
japanese website to find the fun stuff.


Kind regards
