Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Grado speakers

At least 10 years ago, likely more, I was surprised to find tall and very narrow speakers in the Grado room at the CES. Talking with John about them I learned he utilized multiple drivers (maybe 20) from his headphones in a line array cabinet. As I remember there was a moderate sized sub with each stereo channel. I thought that system sounded quite good.

Following that I never saw a review or mention they were in production. But a photo in a recent interview with John Grado showed those speakers in the background in his listening room. So obviously he continues to use them.

Then there are Tekton speakers with their clusters of tweeters. I don't know enough about speaker design to understand comb filtering but apparently success with multiple drivers in a cabinet depends on how they are arrayed.
