I’m looking through some pictures from CES. These speakers were on display in the main convention hall area. Too loud there to make any judgement on sound.

I can say they’re total works of art... really beautiful craftsmanship!

I don’t have a lot of info on them... so really curious to know if anyone out there has heard them (or know someone that’s bought them)! 3E97DF05-9421-460F-B114-4597E2682F8B.jpeg FC29CF95-3E5A-40BB-9C06-7E0E9C8A7238.jpeg 9A3D4CD5-FE1B-4C2E-8820-1F1173E5FCB9.jpeg DCA64E56-9499-4A37-B62B-8B1618CB4584.jpeg 8F319AF7-2014-47B6-98B7-1B03B246C296.jpeg AFB72766-A1B8-41D7-9418-F0D79F4048B9.jpeg ADEC0C04-AAD7-4807-9718-5302AABD9E08.jpeg 4D30F843-5831-4433-817B-51C65842DD5E.jpeg 0BE10E35-C472-46B1-BA81-CAAE447BD5AB.jpeg 31CDC70B-6A44-4844-B677-8B47BAD2835E.jpeg
 
They do look nice, any idea what price point category they are in? I've never heard anything about them.
 
No... they didn’t have any pricing info on hand.
 
Is no pricing common?

Very interesting no doubt, but it's apparent they were not setup for best sound being out in the open like that and up against an wall too.
 
Seems like there was a big dust up surrounding Swan / HiVi speakers about 12 - 15 years ago. Don't remember the details but I do recall the Swan Diva's were getting some pretty good reviews back then. I have not heard much about Swan / HiVi since.
 
Seems like I remember Jon Lane carrying the Swans for a while, but I may be confused.
