I really don't get out much any more, just happened to run across this while looking for high-powered SETs:

Look at text down below the Classic Audio speaker picture in this audio industry "update".

Danged if they aren't giving the field coil the old "breathless" routine (be still, my heart...).

If the smaller high-end guys have any luck selling this, then you know the Big Boys will spin it off, first with mid-line products (to under cut the smaller guys' pricing), then they'll come out with lower and higher priced versions for full market saturation.

With SOTA rapid-deployment engineering/manufacturing going full-tilt in China, it's just a matter of time.

BTW, whatever happened to "Class D"?  Wasn't that suppose to be the Next Big Thing for amps?
