 And oddly they are not terribly expensive.

I think you posted these a few years back - or rather the DP184 3 way model. Now at $15k

 I did a search of all forums under "Diptyque" and nothing came up.

I don't recall seeing these designs which btw to me look very "Magnepan/Eminent Technology'esq".

 They do look like maggies or ETs but did not read their design writeup yet.

I could be remembering them from a different forum and it was not you who put them in front of me. Just that at some forum member's urging on some planar forum I looked up the 3 way and the little 2 way diptyqic.
They did not have the 140 with the outrigger tweeter yet but the integrated 155 (?) model. It looks like the tweeters are the same.

 There's a 3.7 owner who did a comparison review on the bottom comments section, need to translate the page:

 I guess they are more like the Eminent Techs and maggie 20.7 as they are all push pull drivers. I didn't understand all of the review in the autotranslation or the original but it appears to have a great speed detail and precision and throws a great soundstage.
