Sound lab - Eminent Technology - Innersound

>the ETs might be very thin sounding for use in a home theater system without subwoofers.

Community Audio once told me the ET's are a "midrange speaker" on the phone, and I concluded they didn't know what model the VIIIa's are. While their dynamic woofers don't go flat to 20hz - and they go pretty low - I would never describe the sound as thin. If anything, the low end is slightly rich.

ET's would not be my choice for home theater for other reasons.

I thought the Innersound propaganda addressed the sonic aspects of not curving their panels. Less membrane breakup was the rationale?

It also could be a patent or non compete issue for all I know. ; >

From memory, the Innersound marketing materials also cite narrow horizontal dispersion as a desirable quality.

Now, how their arguments relate to issues of property protection, or economies of scale, or desired price points, or capital/resources on hand, I have no idea.

It is also true that sometimes companies say what they really do believe.
