Mind boggling iteration! I.e. & eliminating common denominators, "If the sound is wrong... it is wrong."
Agreed. IMO they are right -- ain't no two ways about it.
| The Cybernetic Audio System, on the other hand, uses a closed-loop feedback system to compensate for phase shift to optimize the sound |

Hmmm, in the old days this would read like a "servo". However,
| A microphone captures the speaker output in your listening area, feeding it into our FPIC-100 Digital Signal Processor. (...)The result is the vivid reproduction of every note for a natural, room-filling sound. |

I.e., a DSP in your system leads to sonic vividness. This reminds me of an old ad, "put a tiger in your tank" (for petrol).
Back to the $60k job.
The horns are tractrix. Strangely, the low freq horn doesn't look hugely larger than the mid horn, as one may expect given the probable disparity in frequencies covered... There is a width of 1.45m quoted in the blurb (i.e. the lower horn's diametre?)
So, if that's a 1,45m tractrix, what's the trick for doing bass frequencies?
As presented, the tenor sings through the two horns, the soprano through the mid and much of this bumps into the tweet on its way out. (OK, I'm being picky.)
Promising (super)tweet, btw -- as far as I can see it. Interestingly, it seems to be sitting a few w/lengths away from its bigger brother (but if so, no problem -- we can dsp the disparity).
The jewel must be that 3" compression driver covering ~300-12kHz before handing over to the tweet. To echo Romy, what's that compression driver???
