    Side by side tweeters? Would that not cause issues with imaging or some kind of phasing issue/artifacts? Don't "we" disconnect one of the tweeters on the side by side tweeter SDA's?

    If that's real maybe they actually do have some type of SDA.

    Will one be able to be placed on its side in my TV stand?

    Will they have clips for wall mounting?

    Will my HTiaB receiver be able to run them?

    How loud will they play Celine?


    Just getting the forum ready for all of the insane questions to follow the release. ;)


    Hoping it will also have BT or Wi-Fi for whole house audio. Sweet. :D

    I don't buy any products these days that don't spy on me so they can sell targeted ads to make profit on top of profit. 100% has to have Alexa or I'm out.

    A little bird told me SDA's and LSi mix. I've kept his secret until this thread. True story.

    I think he said they considered Alexa and portable battery, but I may have dreamt that.

    Yes, but do they have an interconnect cable?

    Noap. Both speakers have a wireless connection to your modem, which doubles as a dreadnaught.

    I can say there is nothing LSi(M) in the new speakers nor Alexa, thank God!

    Hoping it is some flavor of just that. Would be pretty cool.
