Bombtastic?

B for Belgium, Bombard, brass and bodaciously baffled.

This new dynamic dipole simply called OB1 not for Kenobi combines carbonized oak, cast brass, 370-watt bi-amped class D and twin SB Acoustics 15" woofers per side plus 24/192 I²S/HDMI data transmission between the speakers and a Faital compression tweeter behind the horn. The public visiting the Dutch Audio Event 2026 of October 10th/11th had a chance to experience this €15K/pr novelty in person. Further audition ops may already be booked in the Belgian facilities of Ronse or Ghent; the latter above an Irish pub no less.

B for beautiful? Belgian beers already have quite the reputation. So does the local chocolate. Might Belgian baffles with a cast bronze horn belong on the same list? Take a closer look and see what you think.
