That is not out of the realm of possibilities, but that is not the primary intent- as the Force has awakened, I find I have little time for the pleasures of movies at home...
This particular project has in mind two complexity levels, but now ideas for the smaller one have come to dominate. In one discussion, it was even referred to as an "Arvo Pärt Pro".
However, it is not principally derived from the Arvo Pärt experiments, but draws on the idea of reducing room interaction above the Schroedinger frequency-
The question has been posed, would it not be interesting to utilize some of the best concepts of the Dutch & Dutch 8C, but resolve some of the performance issues? (upper bass/low midrange distortion) and, perhaps, shall we say, extend the envelope overall?
And get rid of the dependency on DSP and the problems they are having with software synchronization between two speakers... Then, too, Why, after all, would I want to spend $6K on a pair of loudspeakers for which I cannot use my very carefully selected DACs? Or my very low distortion amplifiers? Ones which they will not be able to match in a multi-way DSP based speaker.
But the intriguing concept is the blended use of boundary loaded low bass, a cardioid woofer/low midrange setup, and controlled directivity upper midrange/presence and treble.
This may have true merit, especially for those who cannot setup large listening rooms and use a Cardas style placement strategy. Yes, Steve Manning, I'm talking about you...
