Whilst Elac's clever 4Pi Plus.2 above is another omni, its<br />

bandwidth begins at 10kHz. It's only good for super-tweeter<br />

duties like the ENIGMAcoustics. And though the Raal Requisite<br />

Eternity project at left is a true full-bandwidth omni, it's a far more<br />

complex three-way construction which requires 15 x tweeter<br />

ribbons, 18 x 3-inch midrange drivers and 5 x 15" woofers to do<br />

what the HRS-120 does with just two drivers (admittedly the<br />

Eternity goes a lot louder and lower).<br />

To mechanically duplicate what the bending-wave DDD does with<br />

conventional dynamic or planar drivers involves massive<br />

paralleling to diminish structural elegance and singularity of<br />

purpose. In my book then the DDD's primary attraction is its<br />

dispersion pattern followed by its bandwidth. Its exotic operational<br />

mode is merely the necessary means to these ends.<br />

The HRS-120 even lends itself to show off decorative items like a Tibetan Tara statue on the left and a walrus-bone carving of<br />

Ganesha, the latter just acquired at this year's Ste. Marie-aux-Mines jewelry and stone show in France. Orchids would be great too.
