can you imagine what this unit could hear?

That's a pivotal phrase, for the chapter and possibly a key (wink) to unlocking much of what TTB was up to with the Navy that summer, as others have so rightly asserted above. And yet another implementation that operates in the multi-KV range. Wonder if it fit in the nose-cone or where they would have placed it?
I actually feel that this chapter really is where the threads and stories start coming together and with the addition of 3D glasses (and sound-system by TTB Audio) makes the whole "movie" really begin to pop.
This is even the first chapter that comes with its own sound-track, something I've often found myself trying to compile when thinking about the eventual screen-version.
Apologies for my absence from the forum for several weeks. And if anyone is wondering, Bangalore is actually quite lovely during monsoon season.
So that parking maneuver, with the manhandling the VW off the curb. Makes me wonder if either of those boys hadn't already been abroad in Rome, for instance, where that could be considered standard parking strategy. I once saw a group of people rounded up from a cafe to pick up and move a smaller car in one of those one-lane cobble-stoned streets in Rome, so a bus could clear a left turn. They put the car on the sidewalk, the bus made the turn, and then they move the car back to the street. As with Morgan and Juan, they dusted off their sport jackets and sat down again at the cafe. At age fifteen that made quite an impression on me.
No back to the speakers. Paul has mentioned that this sort of thing never saw production, but I recall being at an audiophile's house in Austin in the early '90's and he had a set of speakers he had spent thousands on, which were -- I believe the phrase he used was "crystalline lattice" speakers. With no moving parts as in a classic system, but nodes within a mylar sheet that vibrated the air in front of the speaker. My grasp on the technical details was and remains scant, but I recall walking around the room trying to get a sense of "where" the sound was coming from, even putting my nose right up in front of one of the speakers, and just being enchanted with the sound. I have no idea if this was of the TTB technology lineage, or some parallel development, but we could probably dig up more on this by combing through audiophile websites?
Again, as mentioned above, even if we've the "Ionic Breeze" or even the "Audiophile special" speakers, never any mention of the microphone side of the equation.
I knew it, knew it, knew it that there had to be some Lord of the Rings connection...I sure do hope Morgan has his own copy of the Director's cut trilogy. I think he would really enjoy all the additional behind-the-scenes footage (at least as long or longer than the feature DVD's) on the painstaking detail Peter Jackson and his crew went into when taking the book to the big screen.
Say, there's an idea, what about the TTB story for Peter Jackson's next movie? Score by Howard Shore?
One can dream...
