Do let us know if you find out more...
Looking at purely the surface area of cones they have here...they certainly have packed a lot into this 1.6m high (5+ feet), 35cm wide (14 inches) package. Comparable surface area of cones to an Arrakis, 40% more than a big Wilson. And I am not including the tweeter ribbon contribution to this figure since i have no idea how to factor its surface area into this 'overly simple comparison'.

Looks like it retailed for £40,000 when it first came out a few years ago. The £130K in the video is apparently for the whole system.

I also see the video 2019 shows 8 midrange cones...whereas the website and the earlier articles are for seemingly the same speaker but with 6 midrange cones.
EDIT - My mistake...their flagship speaker CWT 2000SE has 6 x 15cm midrange cones. The one in the video is not the flagship but a different model the 1000-40 Anniversary edition which is 8 x 12cm midrange cones.

Ya sorry this one is the CWT 1000 not the 2000. Theres actually a CWT 1000 on audiogon selling for around $28k.
I am more interested in the flagship though. I would love to hear it. Apparently the treble is really nice with the big electrostat panel. I would worry about the mids and bass sounding coherent with it though.

Shame as I am rather intrigued with these speakers as they are somewhat rather different due to their driver layout
