Wood Cones

I have reinstated my mini hi-fi system because the TV never seems to have much worth watching.
The speakers have cones made from birch wood soaked in sake, that supposedly improves the sound quality.
It does seem to work, but then I am a wee bit gullible when it comes to tech speak and marketing.
"Wood cones produce few resonant points because of the grain, so frequency response is improved and sound quality is enhanced"
Now why haven't I bought a 36MPx D800 ????

Panasonic Lumix GH3

I'm thinking I need to look into these wood cones. Great shot. V

We know what the cones smell like but how about the taste :o)

What a beautiful image, Bill, with great color and composition. I lived in Japan for seven years, but must admit that's one use of sake I never encountered.

Great pic. Enjoy the hi-fi. I spent quite a bit 10 years ago on some Kef Reference speakers which are bi-amped with two Arcam amplifiers. Had so much pleasure from them, never regretted it.

Wow that's pretty "out there". Lovely set of Tannoy floorstanders here! :-)
