Gradient’s latest model, called the Helsinki 1.5, appears to be some sort of futuristic Japanese toilet rather than a loudspeaker. The tweeter is contained in a large waveguide, while the midrange is angled at the ceiling in a quasi-omni configuration similar to Mirage’s omni-guide.
The bottom section contains a side-mounted woofer in a dipole configuration, mounted in an incredibly narrow baffle. Definitely one of the most unusual loudspeaker designs in quite awhile.
