That Antelope Audio monitor is interesting, would love to see measurements. Found a video from the show displaying a cut-out model with the isobaric driver configuration visible:

from NAMM 2023: Antelope Audio Atlas i8

The price isn't low but it's also not obscene if it can get anywhere close to the stated SPL without bass compression.

I don't get why no one has put together a mid-priced active monitor with nCore and SEAS Prestige that undercuts Neumann and Genelec. Distortion and SPL won't be state of the art but the drivers are really cheap at quantity, well-supported, and well above the proprietary drivers Adam/Hedd/Eve/Fluid and other monitor brands use.
