Has anybody seen the review on the DK Design Group X-Dream speakers?

Drubin,
I have asked previous ownership, to no avail, (people tend to use what is available rather than what may make sense in the morning) why we didn't use the Mark III amp to drive these speakers which are, about 89 db 1W1M in most measuring situations, and also, a benign load...so what's the problem?
Anyway, maybe with the rush for press that's what was there, I really can't excuse it.
But to answer Drubin, the Mark III will drive 1.3 ohms up over 800 Watts per channel before clipping. And these don't present a 'load' of that nature.
Some questions, such as this, have no good answer.
I know I personally like the sound of many amps, but it sure makes more sense to use the DK with DK speakers.
That's how the road show with LSA will happen, I can assure you all that.
Best to all.

This review shows that when Daniel Khesin said "audio manufacturers run for cover" that he really wasn't kidding.
Huh? Not sure if I am missing something in the news, but I was not aware of any recent scurrying movement towards sheltered or reinforced real-estate facilities by any audio manufacturer.
So, has anyone but the PF reviewer heard or seen these speakers? At which upcoming shows can they be heard?
In a more serious vein, if DK was seeking a superior non resonant material for the speaker chassis, how did choice fall on Aluminum? Aluminum billet rings like a bell when struck. Magnesium for one is a lighter and less resonant metal. More exotic, non metallic materials are used by other manufacturers. One material no one has applied to speakers yet is Pumice, a natural vulcanic glass foam. Extremely light, rigid, and sonically extremely inert. Cannot be used for outer surfaces because of its texture, nevertheless could be used in non exposed load-bearing areas.
