Upcoming Tom Danley Hifi speakers

Visually yes, technically, it's a 2-way vs a 4-way.

The big difference is the Synergy horn of the Danley which combines the output of a 5" BMS coax with dual-firing 8" BMS woofers integrated into the horn in a way that suppresses harmonic distortions. You would also need to compare magnitude and phase response curves to the other design to get an idea to the degree of engineering that went into either design.

Which would say is a better design
HRE1 or Genelec 8381?

Sorry, don't know anything about the Genelec other than I've heard good things.

This design of his is also pretty interesting

That's one I would love to hear. A 22.5" wide, ~55" tall, ~28" deep set of towers isn't something I'm personally ever likely to purchase regardless of price or quality, but I'd still love to hear 'em.

I do think built-in amps is unfortunate, though. Perhaps they pop out and can be remote amps, as Neumann does with their big speakers. If so, that's the best of both worlds.

I am not sure, but is it possible that the speakers have amps that have responses which are tailored to the speaker, and external amps would not have that?

The one @Pearljam5000 posted above has external amps tailored to it,doesn't matter where they are really.

Me either, No way I could go for such small towers...

Here's mine....46" wide, 75" tall, and 29" deep

What's the point of the massage chair next to it? Just sit in front of the speaker!

It's the shootout I can't afford, but it's the shootout I need.

Max 2

This new Unison Research model is designed to be matched, in particular, to the Unison Research valve amplifiers. For this purpose not only the sensitivity but also the impedance were optimized. The MAX_2 is a two-way floor standing, reflex loaded system, of important size however compact. The...

Have you documented the build somewhere, on DIYAudio or here?

Oh, I know this one: the massage part of the chair is actually broken, so now the speaker is used to shake the body
