I understand being worn out by hype, and I agree with you to an extent. However, the slickness of their video presentation, did not, for me, diminish the technical details that he carefully explained, to make sure we understood it wasn't all just 'hype'.

He addressed all of the issues that exist with designing speakers/cabs for this purpose, and how they dealt with them specifically. Those are the kinds of details that let us understand exactly what the differences are between these and previous speakers/cabs.

Although we regularly reach technological plateaus, there are always innovations that take things to another new, higher level. It doesn't stop and it won't for the foreseeable future.

Whether or not their innovations will translate to a revolution will be revealed as they make their way into the studios for real time testing/comparing.
