Oliver is a brilliant designer and nothing is done without a very specific reason. Form follows function and is never a form of imitation.
I have the Noblesse in my system and I have spent a lot of time listening to the Majestic in Germany. I very much look forwarded to hearing the Monarques when we set them up at client in July. I am trying to figure out how to get a pair for my place and the Capital Audio Fest later this year. I hope that I can swing it but we shall see.I didn't mean to imply anything was imitated. It was meant as a compliment... that the speaker has obviously been engineered with considerable effort and thought.
Although, the mid / woofer drivers are round, and there is a waveguide for the tweeter - obviously imitating many other great speakers.
