Wow!  Great news.  Well what would one expect from a company that has a
history of "good audio" from the days of Electrovoice.

>From the "what ever it's worth dept." I've always had a fondness for the
sound of 6"x9" oval speakers.  In single or small arrays, they just seem to
have a nice warm sound and typically perform better than a round speaker.
Of course round speakers are easier to build, much easier to keep the voice
coil from rubbing the pole piece and are more efficient in terms of audio
power to acoustic power.  Something about the law of physics as I recall.

73 to all
