I had a hunch that Jay might be working on something like this when he quit posting over here. It seems like he made a comment that people may or may not understand why he quit after a certain amount of time.
Okay, this has me interested. Can I assume it's coaxial and solid state?
hmmmm....wonder what customer service will be like. Jay didn't seem to take criticism very well, and somewhat thin skinned.

If Jay is involved I bet it will be a well-designed solution.

If it's designed by Jay it will be co-axial - that's what he does. If it's designed by Jay and built to his specifications it will sound as good as the monitor that I played through last year. If the new Atomic is designed by Jay and built to his specifications, you will be getting the most transparent FRFR system available at any cost. You will hear exactly what you program into the Axe. The monitor will do it's part of the job without getting in the way.
If the new Atomic is designed by Jay and built to his specifications you might as well get two and sell your studio reference monitors as well. You're about to hear what you've been missing.
Bold talk I know. I have the advantage of having played through a Jay Mitchell co-axial monitor. It's FRFR like you've never heard before.

Regarding loudspeakers, most of us are dumb as sh*t - especially in relation to a world leading authority like Jay. Love him, hate him, or something in between, he is among a very few individuals who are the last word on everything loudspeaker.
Based on some of the loudspeaker solutions that some folks on this forum rave about it is reasonable to assume that their ears haven't been well trained... ....or maybe even suck as you put it!
