Guys

Looks like similar tech as the Danley Unity / Synergy.

How good would these be in a home theater/ home audio situation?

I see no measurements in your link, so it's impossible to say how they sound.

But it's definitely nothing like a danley design.

Nothing like? I mean, its got a compression driver surrounded by 2x 5.25" drivers in the horn throat and a further 6x 5.25x drivers further out in the horn.

There's a resemblance. They're hard to see but there's a pair of 5.25 inchers located part way back in the horn, similar to a Unity. But the circle of 5.25s at the horn terminus is totally different.

Yeah, you're right, didn't see the drivers in the horn. I looked at it on my phone and just saw the ring of drivers.

I wonder how much range is covered by the "unity" horn part of the design?

Yeah, just got a better look at it from my desktop. Bill, do you think those drivers on the outside are gaining any significant directivity benefit from the horn?

No, and that's not the intent. Aimed cross-firing as they are they broaden the dispersion pattern at the upper end of their pass band. Keep in mind it's a ceiling mount box, and they don't want the mids beaming below the crossover to the HF section. OTOH at the lower end of their passband they do want to get more directivity, which the large diameter of the mounting ring will accomplish.

Thanks Bill. I'd love to see some measurements of these things...

It may make a decent VOG speaker in a Auro 3D setup.

It's odd that they aren't on the data sheet, since it's being marketed based on claimed uniform dispersion.
