From the article, they're getting a 5db drop when compared to a normal 5.1 system. Although significant, it's a miniscule drop compared to open-air headphones.

My guess is that the customers for this speaker have VERY small living rooms, e.g. center-city apartments. A couple sitting on a couch would probably nicely fit in the "near field," and they could move the speaker from the coffee table back to the TV stand when done.

Maybe has a niche, but certainly not for those lusting after their very own 100-seat theaters. I wonder how it sounds compared to the Yamaha?
