That was a wonderful post, thank you.
I wonder why more companies don’t explore omnidirectional speakers. There are virtually an unlimited number of point source speaker manufacturers at all price points, a handful of dipole speaker companies, a few hybrids and a few line source models but high end omnidirectional speakers are currently made by only 2 German companies (as far as I know).
There have been omnidirectional manufacturers in the past including Mirage, Harman Kardon, Pioneer and many others. None of these companies continued with this type of speaker technology. It seems the limitations of an omnidirectional speaker may outweigh the benefits.
