What is this??? STUMP THE AUDIO GUY 
I have never seen that before. I wonder if the sales guy on the floor messed up puting it together Seriously however looking at that I can not see how it can sound good due to sound physics but he maybe they know something I do not, it would not be that hard I can not see who the add is for, do you know? I can probaly find out, now I am interested

They are not BOSE though... haha... what the arrow is pointing to is the tweeter. It is a fill speaker not a main. I forgot who makes them, It is a new line Sound Advice just picked up. SA does not sell crap, they are a mid to high end medium size retailer in the florida market. (just got bought out by tweeter BTW)... Oh I USED to work there... found out i cant sell by commision only.. im not that pushy!
The residual bennifits are awsome though... people i worked with are still there, so i get a killer disount on stuff... I bought an entire home theater system there B&W speakers with yamaha reciever, velodyne SPL1200... etc..

Here is the brief skinny on that "Thingy".
-The manufacture is Mirage
-The thing on top is the tweeter
-The speaker it faces is for mid range frequencies
-The theory is: As explained by a Young Brad Pitt looking lad:
_ The tweeter radiates down as the midrange radiates up.
- They meet and the dispersion provides a truer frequency response...
- There is a housing/grill cloth that fits over the top of the entire unit.
- The size is about 12x12x18 (eye balled)and the cost of each is $299 (a slight price break if you buy 4-6).
Mirage makes other speaker housings using the same concept.
Any similarity to this being a technical discussion is purely coincidental.
While in the TV/sound room they played the scene where Rene Russo was watching the Bond guy playing with his catamarran sail boat (Thomas Crown Affair). It was on a about a 6 foot screen and was awesom. both in sound and visually.
