Hi,

I didn't see that you posted a link for the readers here...? So 
here's one!

I have not tried this system myself, nor have I heard them in 
action. But I've been eyeballing this. But I've heard the Home 
Theater Systems and was very impressed.

You mention those that have not tried them are skeptical...Rightly 
so! 
I have some concers here with this myself...Firstly, what about the 
stereo L/R image/feild with only 'one' cylindrical radiator? 
Wouldn't this them be in mono? Would one need to buy two of these 
radiators to achieve stereo? I didn't see in this link any info 
about the single radiator being able to send the stereo imagery out 
in it's sound dispersion...? Not so cheap either:O...

This got my mind working though...Are there any implications that 
this system or it's technology can be used in the studio? Or does 
Bose already have a studio speaker system/nearfields? I like the 
idea of how it radiates sound in different directions.
But even I bought some speakers with like 5" cones and on top are a 
different kind (I guess) of piezo tweeters that throw sound at 180 
degree's, and it works. This seems to help in a situation of close 
proximity only needs, and they're fairly in inexpensive, but sound 
decent.

So to recap my concerns are;
1) Stereo Field
2) Possible Studio Uses (with this or similar)
