They jumped out of the box and into a plate!

Sorry, can't think of anything funnier to say

There is another Australian brand using a likewise technique for the tweeter.

Wouldn't that completely mess with the imaging? It may disperse sound and sound good at first but over time, I would think that the deficiencies of said design would detract from the listening experience and not add to it. I have not heard said design and I really can not comment other than what I have said but logic tells me that thinking outside of the box in this case is not a good thing.

Enjoy the music.

A former colleague of mine was once quoted in the WSJ as saying, "People who think out of the box should probably be medicated." ;-)

I hope he was a collegue in some kind of business that required no innovation.

Not at all. OTOH, it was the cynical response of senior scientist/physician to the prodding of a callow PR type.

It is certainly a tired saying. 30 years ago it was cool to say it as to a layman, it sounded profound. But today, you look like you are wearing 70's pants!

I think the common use is a sarcastic one many times today as Vincent has done.

Come to think of it, I don't know that we have a modern version of it. People tend to use the word "innovation" instead. But maybe there is a better one...

Looking better at the speakers I think they can be innovative. Most probably the small metal diffusors are heatsinks connected to an heating device and upon reflection in the hot metal the treble becomes hot: As they say: with the masses, congested bass and hot treble sell
