What exactly is inside that big Opus turtle shell? Can is be torqued open or is it welded shut? What if the flux capacitor requires servicing?

I have no idea what is inside

I would send them back for repair or upgrades.

The box was designed by Andy Payor and is fashioned out of carbon fiber.

Hmm... doesn't look like much for all that $$$. Maybe there's stuff we can't see. My new WW Silver Eclipse SCs are looking better (and sounding better) all the time.

Transparent was part of my life for many years.
I think they are one of the best in the market but I decided to go
MIT because of the easy matching impedance network. You can do that
on transparent but you have to send it to the production line to have it modified .

I don't remember anything drawing me into the music as these speaker cables have been doing for the past several days. The sound says this should be the easiest decision to make but the head is saying for "speaker cables".
