What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work?

While watching vids on YouTube, I came across this pipe speaker design from a Dr. Linkwitz (see below).   The sound of this speaker is said to be impressive.  I was wondering if you know about this, how it works and what you think of this speaker design.  Also, what do you think would be the best room placement for such a speaker, and would you be tempted to build them?

Linkwitz was one of the contemporary gurus of speaker design (think LINKWITZ-Riley crossover, etc). His site is full of invaluable info
The Pluto is an impressive speaker for its size, it needs room around it to breathe (IMO) and will reproduce details and dynamics. What it won’t give is the full scale of a large orchestra -- no small speaker will do that -- but it acquits itself better than most (the small ATCs, well driven, being another contender -- to my limited knowledge).
Are you considering it?
