⚠️ Warning

⚠️ Audiophile warning: Ownership of the Carbon Special Black Label may induce sudden urges to convert your living room into a screening room, buy additional subs for "perfect symmetry", and recite crossover theory at dinner parties. Handle with respect (and a friend to help lift — it’s heavy!).
