What is the point of point source?
Don't confuse point source with a narrow soundstage. A perfect point source would give you a great soundstage and cause the speakers to 'disappear' in theory.

Dynaudio C1, why so expensive?
09-17-10: Xti16-------------------------I meant the piece that that the drivers are mounted to. It's a 6.9" driver mounted to a 5" wide cabinet. I don't they are pretty but it sure sounds fantastic. The looks had to grow on me. -------------------...
