Not to start a topic about nothing, but...

Saw this in PE's latest email...





Wonder what it could be?

I'm holding out hope that it's something related to this: http://techtalk.parts-express.com/fo...14#post1428414

I have no idea of course, and it's just wishful thinking. I'm 99% sure I'm wrong...

What do you think it relates to? The two new 21" subwoofers came out of nowhere so I'm thinking this could be something pretty interesting and exciting...

Any guesses?

Ooh! Some matching 21" tweeters????
;-)

Now that I'm thinking about it more... I seem to remember vaguely someone on a YouTube video awhile back mentioning a future line of speakers slotting in above the reference line, but under the Esoteric or Epique lines? Does anyone else remember that or did I imagine it? I can't even remember if it was a PE employee or not, though I thought it was...

Hey, maybe it's a new line of Reference speakers with poly cones!

Could be the carbon-fiber midbass beasts...

I'd like to see some 20-25mm tweeters in the Epique line

Maybe OmniMic V3..

Well, it doesn't really look like a cardboard box that is covered up. It looks like the top of some rounded piece of equipment, perhaps the top of a subwoofer or a rounded corner piece of audio equipment. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the photo to help determine its scale, so it could be literally any size from 6" wide to 30" wide.

Maybe they entered the world of big amps, like Monoprice did a few years ago.

I would like to see some tweeters that are higher up the food chain than the rst's, but I'm probably in the minority, as most seem to just want cheaper stuff.

Hmmmm, Dan's comment has me thinking.
I just assumed the black cover pic was just a representative visual to indicate something was covered up that would soon be revealed. But, if you go with Dan's idea that it might be the actual item then...

Piggybacking on Dan's suggestion... maybe a flatpack/finished enclosure for the new 21" subwoofers with amp? I think PE has a 2000+ watt plate amp with DSP or something like that that may be an option...
heck, maybe even with dual opposed passive radiators? That would be PRICEY! but could be amazing if you have the bucks.

Johnny's right, PE doesn't have any larger size amplifiers, mostly mini and mid-size, and mostly class D stuff. That would be interesting to see. Something in the 120 to 200 watt per channel range with that classic Dayton brushed aluminum faceplate with matching hefty knobs with that miter of raw aluminum showing. Mmmmmm!

And I thought it was just a stand the item would be shown on upon arrival. I suppose it could be underneath...

My thought as well.

[tomzarbo]

I just took a sneak peak at the Christmas flyer... nothing mentioned that I saw.

Anticipation....

[Ryan]

I think it will be the higher throw (Xmax) reference sub woofers! It's been a while since I've heard anything about them.

[LOUT]

Isn't that what the RSS HO/HF (and Ultimax) series are?

[Wolf]

No, Lout- There is a new series of sub in the works.

Guys, it might not be what we are thinking...look at the PE front page? An image says "Something new is coming...Experience it even on the go...(and the picture of a phone)"

Must be an APP? Experience what on the go?
