It looks to me like he's doing something he's never done before...

The "something never done before" might be the amazing number of rings on that driver. A strong candidate for the Guiness Book of Records

That's an exploded view of the KEF driver I shared to compare the AJ design to. It does have quite a few components, but I'm not sure which rings you mean?

all of them . I did count 20+.
I am no speaker/driver designer but that looks like rings-inflation to my eyes

my statement was in the context of curved baffles and whether they made for very wide dispersion, and the point was that despite the Genelec's curved baffle the dispersion is still reasonably moderate (around 50 degrees iirc).

I don't know what you're after, but regularly a wider dispersion asks for less sharp edges. Or the other way round, the soft edges don't make the wider dispersion, they are only needed in case of otherwise designed-in wider dispersion. Sharp edges and wide dispersion combined provoke irregular off-axis response.

Awesome. Someday I will get these....

Youtube recommended this video by OCD HI-Fi Guy. He likes them.

Some demo's at Capital Audiofest.
Starts at 2.10

Soundwise I know it doesn't mean anything.
Just passing it along for people that are interested in these speakers.
At least it's good music.

An unboxing video.
They are bigger then I thought.

Guess points (point sources) are subject to inflation, too.

"And points all her own, sittin' way up high. Way up firm and high." -- to quote acoustician Bob Seger.

Just imagine how big they will be in a decade.

That's John Atkinson, one of the few guys that works for magazines that was doing instrumented reviews of speakers long before Amir and the current internet crowd got on board. I think most people trust him (at least to the limits of the tools he is using).

Well -- I suppose that's better than their becoming pointless, eh?

With the clearly exceptional amount of coin being spent on marketing of these speakers we can already conclude reviews will be stellar.

They will be non-BS measurements, which is the key part. I normally only skim the subjective preamble to the measurements.

yeah well not so much anymore check out the later video he posted... he's not saying necessarily anything bad about the speaker per se but the source of where it's mfg'd...

I heard them at the audiofest. They sounded very good, possibly excellent, to be confirmed with extended listening once I can get an opportunity. There will surely be some puffy reviews out there, there are for just about any speaker out there, even the s***y ones, but I'm cautiously optimistic that these will be worth the 3.7k price.

Interesting. Made a separate post about the issue.

Certainly there are plenty of non-made-in-China speakers but at under 10k there are tons that are made in China so that's a bit of a red herring. Just a few include KEF (below Reference level), Monitor, Wharfedale, Polk, and so many more that it's kind of silly. $15k+ speakers are different- I would not accept Chinese manufacture at that point.
