Bova Balls

Getting one of these next week. I have had my eye on these for a while!

I am steering as far away from the rebranded chinese condenser phenomenon as I possibly can.

I like supporting the cottage industries. They make cooler stuff by far. Look at this thing! It reminds me of "the prisoner" tv show.

Go Bova! These guys live in the same city as me (Ottawa, ON) and they have a super-nice studio. I've heard good things about these balls (too many corny sexual puns I could make but I won't) and I'm super-stoked that they're being mentioned on this message board.

I'm sure they would be happy to know as well!

Thanks for the heads up! Since these are actually made IN OTTAWA.. I will definately check them out. Let us know what you think of them. I'm interested in their pres too, they look so nice and plain. And woody! Not quite davisound.. but close. I know you're a sucker for that stuff.
