Interesting like a '58 Buick. This is an active design that I didn't participate in. The tip-off is the location of the tweeter in a cow-catcher position. That wouldn't work in a passive design with limited electrical delay capability. I did work up a passive version with the tweeter on top of the cabinet back a few inches to time align with the Purifi's. It also used a conventional, albeit very long and large, port. The verdict was: Purifi's with long port--gooooooooooooooooooood. Air Blade tweeter with current drop-off in response below 2 kHz--needs work. If the Air Blade folks figure out how to damp internal back waves without sacrificing low-end response, it could be killer crossed at 1200 Hz.The looks are definitely interesting to say the least, but if it sounds good I'm all for it. It's a very interesting design, looking forward to seeing what comes of this. Here's hoping we get some more hard data! (and hopefully some more pleasant conduct as well)
