There's an acrylic cabinet HPM 100 up for auction. HPM fans might want to have a look, if only to snag the pics~

Demo model - hence the clear acrylic. They sound horrible, stick with oringinal version for listening. There would be for like a collector just to put up on a shelf.:yes:

They sound like a hollow plastic box! I have a clear acrylic case kit for an SX-1250 stored somewhere around here that matches those display HPM-100s.

Remember Ludwig "Vistalite" acrylic drums?? Some of the worst sounding tubs ever produced by the great company.

About a pair every 2-3 months so not to rare. Unless they are the same pair being test driven by a bunch of people who all come to the conclusion they suck compared to a real pair.

I've always wanted to build a 'light organ' inside a pair of clear acrylic speakers. Put on some Hendrix...
