I wonder what it sounds like. As an HT main or HIGH END surround, it could be a very interesting option...

Sooo many drivers for 1k$ ... Could they be good?

I don't thing it was designed for home use - it's a pro speaker with main purpose to amplify voice.. music seems to be after thought for this design...

It's total weight is 21-lbs. I'd like to think four decent 5" drivers would weigh more than that. The empty cabinet should weigh more.
Interesting though...
I'd be curious to hear what it sounded like in a back yard, mounted on the rear of a house.

it's made of fiberglass material and I assume neo (rare earth) magnets...
Maybe it's designed to be light, some PA speakers are

Well, the marketing literature claims it's a CBT, although I'm not sure if it has enough curve.

I dunno about that, although the ""speech mode"" looks like it reduces baffle step compensation to improve sensitivity, it does have a music mode with proper BSC. Like I said, I can't truly judge it without hearing it of course.
