Has to be the worst case of Box Swapping I have come across so far in my short time as a lightweight box swapper!!
I heard the Opals this year at the Scalford event in the UK up against high end Living Voice speakers and they did impress in a big room but I am surprised they trumped some of the exotica on display in the video.
Any serious box swappers here?

Re: Box Swapping Mania
Must be a reviewer alright - can't bear to think what all that cost otherwise!
Do or do not, there is no try
Re: Box Swapping Mania
That's crackers. Agreed with the reviewer theory, cos I just can't see rhyme nor reason to this otherwise.

Re: Box Swapping Mania
Well, that's pretty hardcore. The spread of prices associated with the gear makes it...interesting. Can't fault the guy's dedication!
