Master List of New Speakers

Don't know if this is helpful, or not: Eric's Audio Corner has a video review of Klipsch The Sevens that he hasn't published in written format. That may be why it is not attached to the list.

Crossover seems to be simple (first order 6 dB) and the enclosure is made of 15 mm fibreboard....I remember the predecessors beeing criticized for their resonant enclosures. And the passive radiator was replaced by what looks like a simple plastic tube without a visible flare. They are obviously cutting edges here and i really would like to see the measured performance on a Klippel....

Crazy prices! Wonder how they will measure?

If they were &1,000 I would buy a pair but for $7,000 it’s an absolute no go!

Why is that?
Crossing an 6" mid bass driver to a 1.1" dome tweeter without waveguide at the high frequency of 3500 Hz usually leads to such because around it the woofer already is beaming significantly while the tweeter isn't. A non steep crossover slope as often used by companies like Dynaudio or B&W can smear this discontinuity a bit horizontally but intensifies the problems in the vertical radiation pattern.
