Sorry to be serious for a moment but...
theres always a debate about side firing/front firing, how will this fit in?
Any ideas where/how the drivers are mounted and implications?
Anyone remember how new designs have been met in the past?

If these small speakers meant to be postioned on either side of a computer, I would understand, but for full sized speakers. I am inclined to agree, fugly might be the most appropriate word. Is this going to be the new direction for Meridian speaker design moving forward? Meridian just finished transitioning everything to the present speaker design when they put the DSP3200 on the market.

Yes, they do resemble some of the BO designs. Hardly original concepts from M http://food4ursole.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/BeoLab5.jpg

I don't think it's reasonable to expect the industry to stay away from round speakers for fear of looking like B&O.
The first speaker kit I made (only of 2 admittedly) was a 1/4 wavelength pipe design, I think it used a boiler flue, probably 1980.
I'm interested to know what the shape will do to the sound/dispersion/imaging.
Go for it M!

Tintin According to the press release mentioned in another post, the sub woofer driver is down firing and I would think, since it is only a two way speaker that it is front firing tweeter/midrange. Meridian has never done anything with rear firing tweeters/midrange speakers. It is their "low cost" tower system at $8,000 a pair. Due to the less expensive cabinet (no lacquer finishing, braced MDF, etc.) it probably has the same tweeter/midrange driver that the DSP3200's have with a bass driver in it, along with the same amplifiers. I am us it will sound great it is just the looks that might be a tittle strange.

I suspect that a �4000 pair of vibrators isn't quite the reaction that Meridian would have wished for.

The Swiss Re Tower (Gherkin) had the same reaction but it gave way to admiration. I am sure the same will happen here when someone hears the M6 Gherkins.
