Billy Cobham Question
I can’t answer your question but undoubtedly this is the coolest post I have seen here in a very very long time. What a find! 
Which speakers have rear firing speakers and how do they sound?
I’m curious if you may be referring to speakers that have tuneable rear tweeters?  My Von Schweikert VR 4 JRs have a single rear tweeter per cabinet that has a volume control. I use it for recordings in huge halls to capture more ambience. It work...

Sound diffusers

Light weight speaker cables
