I’m sure if done properly it can be designed to perform quite satisfactorily for its audience.

Agreed, at first I thought it was only a rumble reducer later I read its a speaker too!. However, knowing all the ludicrous money money spent on turntable primarily to reduce feedback. Maybe some slick engineer might be smart to use an electronic feedback cancellation as an audiophile component idea. Though not necessarily slick and not an engineer I had never thought about doing something like that
Particularly given how sophisticated that technology has become. If someone comes up with a demonstrably good one I can see people spending multiple thousands. No more proof than the hundreds or thousands that audio fans spend on power cords, receptacles and other goodies of, at best, infinitely marginal utility.
