Thank you for the link. It does provide some background but many of us are probably more interested in the technical aspects of the 8c speaker design, specifically, how does DSP-controlled cardioid dispersion work to improve in-room response?
Eikon Audio provides a useful introduction to how their Image1 speaker system corrects for the acoustic anomalies of a room:
EIKON Space-Time Room Optimization
I read Bermt Böhmer's article on Wavelet Room Compensation but am still digesting what is presented. Nonetheless, it does make sense and is the system that seems most promising.

Incidentally, I came across this statement made by John Atkinson about the Eikon Image1 system: "I consider the Eikon approach a portent of what will become standard in speaker system design in the next decade." (https://www.stereophile.com/content/gayle-sanders-eikon-dsp-optimization)
Based on the limited understanding I have of the current DSP-controlled speaker offerings (and my own experience trying to fit speakers into listening rooms), I have to agree. It's the approach I'm hoping will become more affordable before I get too much older. :-)
