There is no 'next speaker' at all yet.
You've asked about this already though.
If you're waiting for the 'next' design instead of the Alphas... you'll just be totally missing out and ignoring probably the single best speaker performance/value there is for a design that does not exist in any way shape or form.
I'm sure Danny will post any info that he feels should be posted when it exists, but you'll have a looong wait if you're waiting to hear him describe the new speaker.
He probably shouldn't have mentioned that he's looking to do something new 'cuz it'll just get people to 'wait'.
Every speaker designer is doing something 'new'. They usually don't mention it till it's almost done so as not to hurt current sales.
Don't pass on the Alphas.
