Made a picture for the specialists.
Cool! Those look shorter than even a WE 396A...or is it just how they appear in the photo?

Yeah, and here I was thinking the Bifrost 2 was supposed to be like Bye-Frost. Now I have to refer to it as a beef r-r-roast? Crap. I can't roll a joint, let alone an R. At least the "2" isn't confusing, unless that's supposed to be like "tw-oh" or something.

If by "here" you mean Canada, then metric yes. If you're talking USA, not so much...

They are very short. 35mm glass body alone including pinch-point.
A pity because even with tube risers they look tiny in the Mjolnir 2.
A pair of big blinkies would satisfy my need for extravagance much better.
I was going to advise against reading the review, maybe treat it as a TLDR.
When I looked up the reviewer I was saddened to learn he died earlier this year.

Coming from a career where some of the primary implements were known affectionately as BUFF, SLUFF, Lawn Dart, Electric Jet, Flying Tennis Court, Hog, Tweet, Wobbly Goblin, and one of my favorites (though I never worked on it)...Bone. (Let's not forget Rhino and 'Vark)
Nah, nicknames ain't gonna influence my sonic enjoyment, but I can appreciate the fun irreverence (and grudging respect) they can bring to a conversation.
Cheers!

I think I know a few of these ...
Buff = B52
Hog = A10
'Vark = F111
Bone = B1
And the rest??
SLUFF = A-7 Corsair II (SLUFF "Slow Little Ugly...err...Fellow")
Lawn Dart = Early model F-16s
Electric Jet = F-16
Flying Tennis Court = F-15
Tweet = T-37
Wobbly Goblin = F-117
Rhino = F-4 Phantom II
A good list is here: https://sierrahotel.net/pages/aircraft-nicknames
On topic (is there really a single topic..?), I am looking forward to some of the trickle-down technology improvements leading to some interesting upgrades and new gear.
Hope you guys stay safe from the fires. Stuff can be replaced...you guys can't.
Cheers and All the Best!

Oh, and now that the F-16 is no longer a bug-ridden electric lawn dart, it has earned its current nickname; Viper.
Cheers and All the Best!

Of if you want a different sound signature you could run the woofers with a Vidar and the mids/highs with an Aegir which is what I plan on doing with the towers I'm in the process of designing...
