Maybe it works wonderfully but the shape is weird indeed.



My understanding is that speakers with controlled and limited dispersion should be easier to place in a normal room.
There will be less reflections of sound. And also the efficiency goes up, also a nice thing.
And i see that waveguides are very popular, like in the JBL of the thread.
I can live very well with a limited listening sweet spot. I listen alone to music.



I see. Their shape is the result of a calculation.
I do not know. I still do not like things that are not circular and symmetrical.
I agree it is more a matter of look.
Thanks again, gino
