Klangfilm and other companies made similar designs in the 40s 50s. Nothing at all revolutionary about this design. The only thing is using DSP to get bass out of the loudspeaker. Takes modern tech to do that but I prefer generating bass without DSP EQ. To me that's like a band aid. A way of making loudspeaker smaller more affordable. I would listen before you make such bold and wrong claims about this loudspeaker. Sure they can sound good but a proper designed compression horn system with tweeter and proper bass will sound much better but also will cost more. Does seem doing things right from the start costs more. But for the price the EP is a good deal. Not ground breaking best in world or any such nonsense but a well designed affordable loudspeaker. Weather you would like a EP in your system is all up to you. Your post did make me laugh so thanks for that.
Emerald Physics: Same as the Quads in the fifties?
Let me premise that I've never listened to Emerald Physics speakers. But I have been reading lots of audiogoners' opinions on them. Based on what I've read, I would conclude that we have some sort of revolutionary product here, something that can be compared to Quads ESL57 when they came out in 1957. What do you guys think? That is, it looks like we have: a) a new technology; and b) a sub-$10K product (the CS.1) that is superior to products that cost 5 times as much...and a sub-$4K speaker (the CS.2) that performs better than most speakers in the $10K to 20K range.
Do you think the analogy is appropriate?
