I can't imagine it sounding all that great... just seems like there would be several issues with the mids and highs.

The result was the most honest, full-range, super-realistic (there I go again!) sonic images that you have probably never heard. [we] were in complete awe when we heard Jerry's "Wall of Sound" make music. We played a solid mix of music just to make sure, but there was no doubt that Jerry's reference system produced the most life-like music playback I have ever experienced. We were all overwhelmed by what unfolded in front of us. It truly made comparison with any other speaker system utterly baseless and without merit.
Is a fascinating concept to think of a speaker system where all the rear waves have "left the building." No cabinets whatsoever.

We are the Shack. Existence as you know it is over.
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
You will be mapped. Resistance is futile.
