So what the heck is a sound wave pole?

I don't know but that really screams high end to me. I am particularly enamored with the gold tassels. At least your speakers will look "happy to see you" when you get home.

Just imagine when you start pushing the volume and get some good cone excursion going.

That would be a good match beside my Festivus pole

I like their diagram too. Explains a LOT

I'd also LOVE to know how exactly that works on a ribbon?

Geared towards getting more women audiophiles perhaps?

Anybody ever visit the Engadget site?

That looks like a "crapgadget" nominee to me, purely from aesthetics standpoint.

Yep. It's a good thing sound travels in rays rather than in waves. Waves wouldn't be affected at all until the obstacle hit baffle size.

It's also a good thing that, when they do interact with a physical object, they don't reflect like waves but rather flow around like particles.

The guy has direction indicators on his wires. Need I say more.
