Box Swapping Mania

Post by Sligolad »

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?

Must be a reviewer alright - can't bear to think what all that cost otherwise!

That's crackers. Agreed with the reviewer theory, cos I just can't see rhyme nor reason to this otherwise.

Sorry to say guys but he is not a reviewer and he is not in the trade, just a serious box swapper called Steve over on hifiwigwam.
Just happens to be an avid photographer as well.

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