Romy notesQ

It uses at the buttom a regular sealed or ported box and the driver as direct radiator but they also put the speaker on the spikes and made the bottom looks like it is a horn output. Also at this larger model

On the smaller model it looks much like there's a bottom firing port -- hence the need to provide a non adjustable base (on second thought they could have disposed of the base & used the floor anyway... curious).
OTOH why have it decorative since it raises the whole speaker further off the ground and places a sitting listener smack bang facing the mid horn -- AFA I can tell from the pictures???

On the big model, how would they place a bottom firing horn with that front baffle & box design -- maybe angled (why)??? More to the point, why have a horn there: There is a big double box behind the main spkr anyway -- I assume it's used for lower freq and s/how aligned to the horns (how? dsp?).

Really we have no info on what these guys are doing -- or trying to do. Where's the dsp?

BTW,  I notice the black model uses NO CABLES in the photo. Now that's a refreshing technological advance!
