Ok Danny/Hobbs, let’s start off easy. How about a new Super Mini using the Radian LM10?

So, how many Radian LM10 x $329 would that be?

Super mini used 1 Neo10 per speaker. So it would need 2 total.

The drawback is there is likely to be a hole in the response to fill between the minis and the servo subs.

Nope, the integration is seamless.  The midpanel on the Super Mini plays as low as the ones in my Super 7, just not as loud.  Just turn the crossover point on the subs 'almost' all the way up and it matches pretty much perfectly with where the midpanel drops off.

I would imagine there are a lot of people here that would buy these the day they became in stock at GR research.

So, after "DaHobbs" finish up my NX-Otica Triple Eight (made up name) speaker, I can have a pair of these sitting next to them on the entertainment center and use the servo subs in the Otica speakers for TV duty as well... dual duty on the Otica 8" drivers.

Yes, you'd basically get similar (or better) performance as the $25k PS Audio speaker.  I say 'similar or better' because the PS Audio speaker is a box and some people will like that more, but most won't, IME.

I will say the fit and finish of that speaker is very nice.

Yea, the FR30 is not going to produce a soundstage or image anywhere near as good as the Super Minis.
