Hello Srajan, since I'm aware that you value pure math and radical engineering in audio design over cosmetic component aesthetics, as a fellow open-baffle advocate I'm contacting you directly. If you're interested in radical audio engineering and solving the challenges of power and audio impulse transmission, filtration and reproduction of extreme fidelity while eliminating all forms of phase, electrical, mechanical and acoustic distortions without selling snake oil or emphasizing subjective audiophile 'sound character' narratives, take a look at my project: Gladiator Audio™. Title of invention: modular open-baffle electroacoustic stereo system with three-dimensional mechanical and electro-physical phase trimming featuring continuous geometrically variable plate conductors without transition connectors from the beginning to the end of the power and audio impulse. Here are the technological classifications applied in live examples, showcased with detailed visual content:

/ Aero 0-phase / zero-μH linear impulse / asymmetric physics air-foil design / internal, crossover & power supply air-foil maximum physics design / no-connect technology /

The entire system is officially registered under a Large Patent System, encompassing 15 independent patent claims within this stereo ecosystem. This is a 1/1 repeatable patent prototype. It is an open-baffle system equipped with a three-dimensional mechanical phase trimer mechanism. The entire signal chain is executed in a strict no-connect topology running direct from the AC power grid through the internal circuitry of the components (PC, power supply, amplifier) down to the integral floor crossover and to the individual drivers without a single connector or terminal break. The conductors utilize asymmetric copper foils (air asymmetric ellipse, my proprietary design configuration) within a hybrid gas/air dielectric featuring targeted performance perforations that break up structural resonances. By calibrating the geometry at 100kHz, the line balances to a verified 0.000µH of parasitic inductance and a 0.0° phase angle, representing a purely resistive chain load. You can examine the technical passport, detailed photographs, structural blueprints and extensive live laboratory measurements—some of which are on my Facebook page—if you're interested in the specific physics and functional aesthetic. Years of engineering went into this project. It is a brand-new entity and this is the first operational prototype. When the time comes, if this approach interests you, my objective is to sell this system for logical financial reasons and to fund an eventual next-gen system which I would gladly present to you under agreed cooperation. You can view an overview of the architecture on my newly launched Facebook page. You can also contact me directly via email: gladiatoraudioserbia#gmail.com. Ivan Đorđević 

Hello Ivan, thank you for your note. Of course there is a big difference between a prototype and a commercialized sellable product. With my website, I focus on things ordinary people can buy – not DIY projects. Once your project has matured into a sellable décor-friendlier item, feel free to contact me again and we can then see whether a formal review might make sense given involved size, weight, price and my own circumstances. At present however I can't really 'do anything' with this if that makes sense. Also, you're making a wrong presumption by thinking that I "value pure math and radical engineering in audio design over cosmetic component aesthetics". I'm very much in the camp that a hifi system becomes sonic furniture. That furniture must bed into the décor of regular living rooms when most folks in this hobby don't have dedicated listening rooms. I'm not an anything-goes basement dweller or mancave freak. All the best, Srajan

Thank you for the response. To prevent any misunderstanding, Gladiator Audio™ is a new officially registered brand and this system is a completed fully operational commercial execution for sale—not a DIY project. The industrial and functional design language is a deliberate engineering choice. I completely understand your editorial requirements and visual standards tailored to décor-friendly formats. Once the brand expands its portfolio into alternative aesthetic designs, I will certainly let you know. All the best, Ivan

My apologies. The "this is the first operational prototype" wording had me think that the cosmetic/commercial aspects weren't yet finalized. Now that point is clear. What we show above is the final product. Understood. But it confirms my earlier reaction. I would be the wrong platform to cover it. Regardless of its measured and/or audible performance, the cosmetics and exposed wiring loom just aren't house-broken yet. In my book, 21st-century hifi performance no longer is just about the test bench. Industrial design and lifestyle appeal must be part of the performance package. If they're not, the design is only half cooked and doesn't perform. Srajan
