Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

In the linked thread (at the top of the page) I was pointed out that GM Lab introduced their new Focal Utopia EM loudspeaker. Yesterday the Seattle’s Moron “mikel” posted a picture at AA with the new Utopia EM presented at RMAF 2008.

I saw the picture and I was laughing. How idiotic those people who design sell the Utopias! I am sure that the bent over Utopia’s design with curved axis’s makes a good photogenic appearance for the yeas of barbarians but in term of sound what and how Utopia is mad is just simply reticules. This location of different drivers in the curve combining with high order filters shell make a listener to listen the speakers  from a spot no larger than 1mm. Literally. You shell be able to get OK sound from this speaker at the distance let say 3m 44.3cm, but at 3m 44.5cm the sound shall be quite destroyed. Who the hell would be interested in such acoustic system?
