I'm just sayin' that we are no longer dependent on the cabinetry doing the time alignment of the various drivers, and so aren't dependent on all-in-one towers.
That said, I can see why some people would still want the all-in-one towers. Especially those who object to software correction and room EQ. If there's sufficient market for it, why not?
But I'm a little leary of diluting Dave's time too much. I don't want to slow him down on projects like the Sierra-3. If there is one. Or the Atmos ceiling mount speakers. If any. Sorry Dave, couldn't resist. :cool:
