For me, the gratuitous mention of "name" yachts in the early part of the blurb is such an obvious Pimp Job that I literally could not get past it on my first try.  And I have to disagree about the "design', and the "execution", as well, which is so obviously "looks-trumps-phony-function" that it is hardly worth arguing the point.

If these guys have really done their Sonic homework, there is no way to tell it from anything they say or show in their opening salvo.  So, clearly, that is not what they are "about", in the first place.  This means, if nothing else, that anything they do right in terms of Sound is probably an accident, since Sound is clearly not the first thing they want to talk to "prospective customers" about.

Sorry, but so far this is just another Robb Report blurb aimed at "The Man Who Can Afford and Must Own the Best".

Not that I "blame" them, mind you; but, c'mon, guys...

Paul, yes and now. Yes, that the yachts was brewed with all typical Pimpy techniques. I swear that when Srajan begun butter up readers with glory of yachts I immediately thought that he shell put the Kristina’s bar stools into the game. That felt so in Ebaen alley that it was superbly predictable. Also, “yes” to the fact that that Living Voice signed off all this crap and permitted it to publish. Another, “yes” is to the fact the Living Voice was making commends like “we do not review out speakers” …. that was published in a very typical Ebaen’s review. This remind me this asshole from Magico, I do not remember his name, the Israeli one. Back in beginning of 2000s he was giving interviews and blaring the he is it very much anti-industry person and at the same time we was driving from dealer to dealing,  building up sale network, recruited reviewers and develop distribution channels.

There is also some things that are “no” in your post. We have no idea how all of this Robb Report cheapness translate to sound.  I have no idea if their sound is interesting or nit and accidental or not. The parley according to which they chose to sell their speakers is not necessary relate to sound. You need to understand that $300K speaker are not made by to sound superb and then to solicit people to buy them because the sound superb. Those types of the products are made with objective to cash out the established target customers. It is the same how Lamm was doing his ML3. He has a few customers who agreed to buy his new 35W SET amp, possibly even prepaid as I with with L2. So, why Lamm in this case shall not cash out a few hundred thousands?  That is his job and anyone would do the same. The very similar situation I am sure with Living Voice. I am sure they have a few customers who will buy their speaker for direct sale price (probably 50K-80K). This assurance that they can disperse a few speakers make people to make a first production run. I am very sure that right after this boar show the speaker goes to one of the boats… and why not.

Any person who become from an individual who just have interest in subject of sound reproduction to an individual who intend to make money on this love pass some kind of invisible threshold that subconsciously affects outlook . Living Voice for 5 years experimented with thir speaker – that was fine and that what I am interested in the Living Voice experience. Now they become a professional company and will be doing all necessary things to make money and capitalize profit.  Where the sound will go from there? I do not know….
