Quote from the article:

I’ve installed dozens (hundreds?) of two-channel, hi-fi system for friends over the years and have it down to a science. But recently, I’ve tried my luck at helping with 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 channel surround-sound systems and I can’t believe what it takes to do it right.

(with 5.1 6.1 7.1) all of the connections need to be correct (plus terminal to plus terminal, negative to negative) and you need to hide the wires as much as possible.

Wow I didn't realize that - Dangnabbit new-fangled gizmo's - see what a pain in the arse new technology is!

Seen the review on Tech Tv's Fresh Gear, and they hated it, so do I, I'll pass.

I listened to it. Not impressed. Its tailored for a very specific room size and shape.

M&K has one of these types of speakers now too. Visit mksound.com for info.

I'd be curious to see how M&K does, personally I don't think it will ever replace a true 5 speaker system but it is a neat idea if you could get it to work ok.

ADS has had a similar product out for some time, priced at $399. That guy at ADS is a pretty sharp troop. I'd say they were worth a listen. I didn't say I'd pay $399 for one. Nakamichi's either.
