Or velodyne subs , they also fight the laws of nature ,but in velodynes case it works out rather OK as sub bass performance is so and so anyway in normal speakers and subs ,to much distortion in most normal speakers .
In this case they seems to use all thier tech know how to make a design statement perform well in general why fight against the laws of physics accepting that the speaker is going to of a certain size is the rigth way IMHO . Is it not the case that tweeters should be just slightly above ear level when seated ? That's sets a natural size limit ,smaller you need stands anyway the foot print in the room will be the same ( or you have the speakers on gimballed wall mounts ) I would be prefer a slightly better compromise with the physics , you can still build nice speakers with furniture quality look or some more artful look , but super small is to much of a compromise . Btw I've never heard them so I can't comment about them more than this . Btw2 my own active suffers a little bit from design over function , they look like thier larger siblings , but really in this class they should have been large stand mounted speakers on a short stand a bit deeper and boxier , and yes they would not have looked as nice ( point in case the centre speaker has the best midrange ). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
