Have any of you ever seen these? http://www.oheocha.com/D2_P_I_S.pdf

I would have listened to them, but I had my son with me and they're way out of my price range meaning the salesman probably would have been an _____ (fill in your own expletive), but I will go back. I just have to hear these things. They combine so many difficult design elements into one speaker.

The alien crafts have arrived, disguised as speakers.

Funny you should say that. the salesman called them UFOs the whole time.

I just don't understand how the sub can have enough volume in that encolsure. Keep in mind it's also got ports on the bottom. And where did they pack the crossover?

I think they're hidden under the fuel tanks

If the drivers are OEM for this design they may be so closely matched as to only require a minimal crossover. I once built a 3-way XO that has only 5 components. The parts could also be separated in various areas of the "cabinet". It's an intriguing design; pod tweeter, spherical mid and omni-woofer. Obviously a great deal of the purchase price is going to be swallowed up in the enclosure production.

It is intriguing isn't it. I do find them sort of ugly but it was the combination of non-traditional design elements that really interested me.

The spheres were dipoles on the one I saw and one of the models has the woofers in an isobaric load. On top of that, I don't think they're more than about 30" high. The enclosure for the woofer is tiny. And the whole thing is metal. That's a lot of strange obstacles to overcome in one speaker.

That's why I was wondering if anyone has heard these things and if I should waste my time listening.
