Reminds me of these.

Or the microwave receiver that Penzias & Wilson used to detect Cosmic Background Radiation.

Well, yes. I was joking. But, on reflection, they're really rather good. My AVIs are in a skip.

Agreed. Indeed, the whole layout of the room is sub-optimal.....especially the recliner with foot stool.

Has anyone any idea what the silver and black, and silver and red round objects on the ends of the curved around thingmys at the back are?

I'll stick my neck out and say that the curved thingamees are the horns. The things on the end must be the driver units.

Lol, and I suspect they'd be better off at the bottom of the garden. Shock)

Plus, I like the idea of trying to disguise one with a pot plant. Maybe it was a last desperate ploy before his mrs came home.
