So much music, so little time!

Can you say anything about those drivers? Are the rear drivers identical? Two more sets of 3? I suppose I should just call Duke.
The specs are at the link below; a photo of the rear of the speaker is in this article .

Reminds me a bit of the Lowthers (and Tektons to follow) that added a second full range driver firing up.
The theoretical advantage of the configuration we use (developed by Jim Romeyn) is a longer path length to the ceiling, combined with using the cabinet itself to block any side-lobes that would get to your ears early. So we get the sort of time-delay for most of that extra spectrally-correct reverberant energy that you'd get with Sound Labs or Maggies out from the wall at least five feet (long wavelengths will of course wrap around anyway). And imo good things happen when we have that time delay.Or put another way, this technique does what my best bipolars would do (and maybe even better), without demanding you dedicate so much real estate to them. You can plug some ports and shove 'em up against the wall and still get that bipole/dipole type richness and spaciousness.

Me being a dealer makes you leery?? It gets worse... I'm a manufacturer too.

Being a "Porsche guy" (at least as D-wife calls me), that color just fits those cabs!
Can't wait to hear your report on their sound!
