RE: My prediction

While I wouldn't want to venture an opinion on the date, based up various statements attributed to Wendell, it would seem a summer 2009 release may be very premature. If this is a prototype, and if they were unsure of customer reaction until the CES, and they are still unsure of pricing and marketing strategy, they may well take a lot more time before the market sees them.

I think they will also have to modify their marketing approach to meet the growing HT market rather than just serve the shrinking 2 channel stereo market. That means a center channel which will go deep enough to do justice to male voices along with front and rear channels in perhaps an integarted package. Also for HT, and extra sub (a real one) will be required. Perhaps they have a larger version of the stand-alone woofer already in development.

They are not going to start changing the production floor in any major way until they feel comfortable with marketing these new speakers.

Maggies, because you can never be too thin!
