True, but lets be honest: We're talking about a 4 inch driver in a tiny enclosure with nearly no power budget; Even with the 0db-12db of gain you can get at low frequency from driving into 1/8th space your not getting any meaningful output, this thing is going to roll off hard under ~200hz; Sound quality isn't even a target feature here.
I think it could be an even more viable idea if they bring the costs down. I would say it is more suited to general consumers than audiophiles, and should be priced as such. From their campaign I got the idea that it is going to cost $250 retail/$175 campaign (not sure if that cost will come down). For $175ish I can buy a pretty good Polk Audio 5.1 system or something of similar quality, albeit it won't fit well in a corner. Also I wonder how easy it is to set up multiple ones as a bluetooth sound source...otherwise, I like the design!
Injection molded plastic case, just like a plastic kiddie toy, lol. This might be great for a $10 speaker, but not for a $150 to $250 speaker!
I'm amazed at the stupid stuff that people fund on Kickstarter! Some things are very unique and worth it, but other things like these speakers suck compared to what is currently on the market. This proves there are too many morons with money in this world!
I like the corner idea, but I don't really see myself needing to pull it out and carry it with me. It's kind of hard to reach the top corners in my house anyways.
Pretty bad. It's battery powered and has a 4 inch driver in a tiny enclosure. Even with the boundary gain from being in the corner it won't be loud enough to amount to much in a space that size. You'd also have to figure out how to get it down to recharge it every 5-10 hours of use (if I were to guess).
