So... as one will... I was 'leafing' through a copy of the Feb. 1960 copy of Radio Electronics, courtesy of https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Radio-Electronics/60s/1960/Radio-Electronics-1960-02.pdf and I was surprised to see a blurb presenting the somewhat well-known but not particularly well-documented (to the best of my knowledge, anyway) early 'fullrange driver' and (sort of) 'omnidirectional' loudspeaker designed and (at least) prototyped by the even-then MIT professor Amar Bose.
Thought I'd share it here.

They are each 1/8 spheres, so 8 of them = a full sphere! my 3.1TLs

Hang it like a disco ball in the center of your room -
so... the thought of more than eight of them existing in Euclidian space is too terrifying to contemplate.
