Wow, weird speakers.

Can someone explain the wood covering the drivers to me?

Not sure what the baffle is about but I see small JBL paper drivers, no horns...Maybe it can get 1600 on the rarity alone.

"The Aquarius Series were all based on a common design principle - slot loaded bass enclosures combined with a widely dispersed high-frequency response. The intent was to develop a series of loudspeakers that would have few limitations in room placement and a stereo soundfield that was largely independent of listener position."

Way cool, wonder how 'omni radiators' like these perform, but the chance of running into ne of these here...
