    Actually, they need to be fully nude. That's the only reason why I bought Soundlab electrostats.

    E-Stat I see that picture differently. In that ad they show the product and the female form. VPI posted an erotic image on their Facebook page that did not even show their products. I am sure many young people would find that image to provoke sexual ideas. The Soundlab picture reminds me of sculpture.

    Also the body language is so different from the two models. The one says beautiful form and the other is saying well I am not really sure.

    Another thing that I find frustrating is they took down the negative comments but kept the ones supporting the objectification of the woman amidst the records.

    So, the turntable in the pic wasn't even theirs? I never saw the picture in question.

    The image is in post #9. It was posted on their Facebook page.

    I was pleased to learn you and your wife enjoy the hobby together.

    All this talk of ads of audio gear had me thinking back. Does anybody remember these. I went on ebay just to see if they were still around and my jaw about hit the ground. They go for as much $74.00 now days. I have 3 of them in my garage (just not new still sealed )
