A very reasonable surmise, but not a correct one. The Emperor has taken counsel with some advisers who suggest that smaller is better, that the days of the Executor Class Star Destroyer are behind us in these perilous financial times. Though I am not one to agree with him, I must nevertheless do his bidding.... for now.
This project in final form should resemble these....
Hopefully without some of the flaws as detailed here...

The designer's "philosophy" -
Asked about his design philosophy, Patel said, "First and foremost is our commitment to musical truth, where all technique is subservient to achieving an ultimate aesthetic goal. What happens in an actual musical event must be preserved and communicated without destroying the subtleties or nuance. Time, which is absolutely invariable in our universe, must be preserved above all else. Technically, this means not allowing phase distortions within or between drivers. All Avalon Acoustic drivers are purely pistonic, with no driver breakup modes within the passband. Phasing is wholly linear throughout the bandwidth of hearing, including the very low bass. Dynamics must have impact and articulation without ringing—which is why the Q of each driver is carefully observed and actively damped, giving amplifiers a purely resistive load (which also eliminates back EMF, which can exacerbate time distortions within the amplifier)."
I'll give a "hint" for those who can't wait...
The larger class speakers will be continued based on the methodology being developed for this project; the exact configuration may be modified to a dual driver version with 10" woofers to permit a narrower launch platform for the front panel.
