    Well, OK, there's the glue...

    But the idea that wood is always a pleasant material to work with was dashed, for me, the day I dropped in on a friend who was power-planing a whole lot of some teak substitute, might have been iroko(?). The dust was lung burning.

    Wow.

    It's just a shame about the table cloth. (Kidding, but quite possibly the table makes an acoustic difference?)

    An interesting design that I don't think I've seen. Hope some copies come out, but I assume that patented.

    Tekton has a bit of this idea albeit with an army of tweeters and without the fancy horn.

    Multi-drivers into a horn has been around a while. I know Danley did it late 90's/early 00's:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Danley#Multiple_entry_horns
    There's probably other examples.
    I actually own several of the Unity speakers mentioned in the wiki article. Very good for a PA cabinet, though not something I'd use in a small home theatre.

    Don't know why I was reading about these, but they seem pretty cool. Internal view of the Beolab 5 speakers made from 2003-2017.

    This is going to be as close to porn as it’s going to get. Image is spoiler’d as it might be a bit NSFW

    Mikayla Demaiter is a former goalie in the Women’s Hockey League turned model. What hasn’t been identified is that BLH speaker. Are those AER drivers? Voxativ?

    I think that might be the REPS R-1 driver option, since the AERs have a silver colored basket and no phase plug. Then again it's really hard to tell when it's out of focus like that, heh.

    I like to think of that speaker as the granddaddy of the Ampeggio. Would really love to give it a listen some day, but given how rare it is in Europe that's not easy.
