Yes, but the front and back drivers are not connected together. wink

I've just never seen that or heard of that, then again, I'm new to all of this. Whats the reason/advantage for having this sort of configuration. Would this speaker be best used in open space, meaning not close to a back wall say for a home theatre? I just really don't understand it, not trying to cause controversy.

I would like to know the benefit as well of the rear firing configuration. Is it to simulate a larger front sound field while still yielding uncompromised forward facing audio?

Also, all of you M80 folks are no longer at the top of the food chain. Ha ha! (I've dealt with that for years now with my awesome M60s...)

Actually, look more to me like the old Cambridge Soundworks Tower 1s.

The rear firing array is for reflected sound. It theoretically helps increase the soundstage, but (usually) at the expense of imaging. Given Ian's focus on imaging (ha!) I would wager that the other part of this (the magic box), takes care of that little issue.

So I take it there will be some DSP wizardry going between the front- and rear-firing speakers? Maybe delay the front so that the rear sound has a chance to envelope a bit and arrive closer in time with the front? Maybe delay the back to make the room seem bigger? Maybe fully user selectable, so we can never stop tweaking?

I can't spill all the beans yet, but fundamentally you are correct. It's important to note that this speaker will not work without the DSP. It's integral to making the system work as intended.
