2-way coaxial with 30 Hz extension -> IMD land.

I would LOVE to hear these, measured as well.

I think it's a typo, the manufacturer website says 40Hz which makes more sense.

Still though, it seems really expensive for a passive 2-way coaxial which is a design you definitely can't trust from a random manufacturer without measurements. Very hard to see what this could be doing better than the Kef R3 or the Kef LS50(on the smaller side), both of which are significantly cheaper.

Of course, a run through the Klippel would confirm or deny this analysis

Diffusing (rather than damping) the sound inside the speaker does not make a lot of sense. It seems to me that all it does is change the cabinet vibration eigenfrequencies.
