The LX 521.4 is an open baffle design to remove "the box resonances" and their phase issues.
More importantly, as a SYSTEM, that provides an AMAZING 3-Dimensional presentation of the Music in Space, where the Speakers themselves simply "Disappear" Acoustically speaking.
Their Figure 8 pattern inherently decouples the speakers from the room by Side Cancellations which "throw away" driver Efficiency to achieve all the goals of that type of reproduction.
Having owned 3 pairs of Caver Amazing speakers and helping a friend build his version of it (Six 10" drivers and on large Bohlender Graebener Planar Magnetic driver, side by side), the speakers have the unique presentation that is quite remarkable. The antithesis of my preferred All Horn systems.
Nevermind that he's using JC-1 Plus class A/AB power amps at 1 Horsepower Each to drive them, they just do sound Terrific, at a HIGH PRICE, for the hifi.
I only mention this in CONTRAST to the Horns People here, including me. IMHO, this type of system is not for the Weak Wallet types like me and other Klipscheads from that forum.
Follow Ups:
Most certainly not in the high-eff family.Never took a cotton to traditional Altecs/K-Horns but would like to hear one of Tom's synergy horns where all frequencies radiate from the same "mouth". In some respects they are like my Sound Labs in that they have controlled directivity and can be used in horizontal or vertical arrays since they are full range designs.
I discovered as a teen that I am particularly sensitive to driver blending issues and have no need for 100 db output. I suspect that music preferences play a role in determining one's optimal speaker approach.

I have 3 Danley SH-50's in my full Atmos HT as front RCL channel for a 7.4.2 setup in my tiny Living Room. Also have Tom's prototype #3 of his companion TH-50 tapped horn Subwoofer that literally scares strangers with the right movie LFE.At the touch of a button on my Yamaha Pre Pro, I have 2.2 for Music instantly.
I bought a used pair of his Unity Summation Aperture TD-1 horns. I drove all the way from Indianapolis (at the time) to Buffalo, NY to get them from a DJ who had an extra pair. They easily fit in the trunk of my Toyota, at the time. I was blown away by the sound of those little horns, even without a sub.
So, sound unheard, I upgraded to a pair of SH-50s Brand New, in 2014, and a Hypex NC-400 Kit, also unheard. This combination makes the Chesky Drum Recording sound like the Drums are literally in my living room as certified by a few drummer friends who shook their heads in disbelief. This done in 2.2. Also the Center Phantom image is so sharp on a vocalist, that my friend have to stick their heads in the middle one to know it's not even on. Lots of FUN as the voice sounds like it's coming directly from the center of my big 4K TV with just Land R on. LOL
Now THIS is true HiFi!! Full Dynamics, driven by TI Chip amps, while I reduce the gain on my Hypexes.
My small space means I have to have the horns in corners, which boosts the bass, so I have to EQ them down. This way they perform way beyond the Spec , as flat to 40 Hz than crossed to the subs. I will never sell them as they are a lifetime speaker for me after owning every horn speaker imaginable, several DOZENS by now, and counting.
