Anyone heard of /seen/tried some new Canon speaker. They are dome
shaped, and from what a remember of the advert I read on someone else's
newspaper, direct some sound down to the base, which then spreads it
round the room.
Have I imagined this or are they real?

Yes, they are real !!
The sound is 'fired' downwards onto a cone shpe which reflects the
sound around the room. The claims are that you get a much larger 'hot'
spot than with standard speakers. I gather that Canon have spent stacks
of money on getting this part right and lots of time on getting them to
sound good.
Most comments have been along the lines 'it's been done before and it
didn't work then' to 'lifestyle product'.
I don't know - I guess I _could_ live with them if I really liked the
sound and they weren't outrageously expensive compared with more
conventially shaped speakers.

I think they're about 250 quid, excluding stands.
