Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)?

Thanks again for all the suggestions.  The pure audio project speakers are being demoed at NY audio show in NYC next weekend and I'll have to see if I can track down some of the others to audition.  Can't imagine buying speakers like this without.

1. Which of your categories do my current mirage M3s fall under i.e. sealed box with dynamic drivers facing forward and backward? I believe these drivers produce forward and rear sound in phase vs open baffle which produces front and rear sound out of phase
2.If the goals is to simulate live music then a. speakers that disappear fits, since there are no speakers e.g. at a symphony or acoustic concert and b. the person in the coupla seats on either side of you probably hears something similar to what you do. So while sound walking around the room may or may not be a marketing gimmick, a 3" sweet spot means something fundamental is wrong. c. Also in any indoor concert some percentage of sound reaching you will be indirect. Are most speakers today direct radiators?

I'm inclined toward dynamic speakers and dont care for electrostatics aside from maggies (not my first choice but they do something right that some dynamics dont).

Has anyone heard the Diesis open baffle speakers? The audiophiliac  included it as one of the best sounding speakers he’s heard

A 2nd on @mcreyn's suggestion of GR Research. Danny Richie's speakers are sold as kits only, but there is a cabinet maker on the GRR Audiocircle Forum who builds them at a very reasonable price. Giant Killers!

"Direct radiator" speakers still generate a lot of off-axis energy and therefore a lot of reflections.

At most normal listening distances in most rooms, most of the sound that reaches your ears is reflected sound. And most of that reflected sound started out as off-axis energy. What we perceive is a weighted average of the direct + reflected sound, which implies that what a speaker is doing off-axis (including around back!) matters.

A bipole or dipole speaker produces additional spectrally-correct reverberant energy. With proper set-up (dipole and bipole speakers should be out in the room several feet), this results in a warm, relaxing, rich timbre. They also do a good job of conveying a sense of immersion and of disappearing as the apparent sound source.

I’m a dealer for dipole speakers and used to build bipolar speakers. What I do now shares some common ground with bipolars, and I still think very highly of the format.
