do speakers like that have good imaging? do you have to sit right in the sweet spot for it to sound good?

Sorry, I don't know - I've never heard them and was in hopes that someone here had. I would imagine off-axis listening is not going to be optimal (nor is it with any of my SDA's), but imaging should be excellent. The super efficiency and crossoverless (hope that's a real word) design is what I find appealing for low power, tube amplification.

That looks like a vacuum tube in the center of the horn.

Perhaps that's why I'm drawn to them? :D

The phase plugs for these are, if I recall, solid bronze. These don't appear to have the matching bronze crowns - which make the array look like the tail fin on the Batmobile.
