Does this image give you claustrophobia?

Can you imagine, how those 64 x midranges and 40 x tweeters could possibly all work in perfect unison without any smearing at all??? they’d have to be ultra matched not to.

From a reviewer " these speaker didn't quite convey the intimacy or focus of say a traditionally well engineered two way system in a near-field environment,"

Looks like that is where Tekton got their "idea" for their tweeter array.

Different strokes for different folks. WAY too much equipment,speakers set up next to a floor to ceiling entertainment center. I can't imagine very good imaging. Not my cup of tea.

Are those McIntosh speakers with the gazillion midrange drivers?

Ye gads.  I high end store used to sell an expensive iteration of those years ago and they were consistently the most awful sounding speakers in the store. Quality-wise, they reminded me of a big version of a cheap boom box midrange...but just tons of them sending a wall of that bland, grey, low quality tone at me.

Not long ago I was in a high end store that had one of the newer versions of the McIntosh speakers - yet again with the multiple mid drivers.  I threw on some of my CDs and...there it was.  Exactly that awful presentation as I remembered it from years before.  Completely devoid of anything resembling organic, believable or high quality tone.  Just "sound" and lots of it.  (Again, I have no idea of the quality of drivers they use, but the sonic impression to me is that of taking the cheapest drivers from a boombox or cheap sub-sat speaker, placing a lot of them in a box, and just getting a big sonic presentation of low quality sound).

Julie Mullens of TAS heard the new McIntosh speakers with even more mids and tweets driven by McIntosh equipment and was gushing over them. Go figure.
