Nice to see at Headfest as a "proof of concept" or "here's where we're going" sort of thing. But placing Stereophile ads now seems a bit (as in "way too") soon.

I don't know it allows people the opportunity to begin thinking about the concept and getting the needed cash together.
As to the vaporware idea, the two items in question are the D-class amp and speaker stands. I fail to understand why someone would take out a full page as in stereophile to begin storyline about a desktop mini monitor rig without being fully confident they could deliver.
Just for a second consider that short term Tyl would have gotten more bang for his buck with an ad for the micro and desktop line but instead decided to go leading edge and seek to bridge the gap between speakers and headphone with the desktop mini monitor rig. It is not about being a fanboy, as I own not a lick of Headroom gear at the moment and only ever owned a airhead briefly.
I posted this to highlight the fact that once again Headroom is taking the hobby in an interesting direction. Some marketers are interested in todays sales only and some build new markets where none exist. I'll put my money on the guy looking ahead rather than the status quo.
Tyl congrats and now that I have an office I may build a rig similar to this.
