So I was doing my usual browsing around the web for some inspiration, when I came across a company called Concrete Audio.
They sell the F1, a 32mm deep wall-mounted, canvas size speaker. Active, with 41 very small (~32mm) drivers.

Here it's displayed in it's pure form, but they also sell.a version with a printed canvas look...
There is not much detail to find. It's active, and paired with a sub. It sells for a whopping 16.000 usd. (2.1 system)
I have not heard them, but I am intrigued by this design.
I was looking at doing something like this, with the Dayton Audio CE32A-4.
Active amps are present, right now a bit overkill. (Hypex Fusion FA123)
Is there a cheap way to do this? I think 'combing' (is that a word?) can be a BIG problem. But maybe this won't be too big of an issue because they are grouped together? Like the Hass effect says, if the other drivers get the sound to your ears, with a maximum time difference of 40ms, your brain will think it's coming from just one source.
That would mean that the 'sheet' with the 40 drivers needs to be pointed at the listener a bit and that means the cabinet needs to be deeper, which I don't really want... It would probably be the most easy and cheap way though.
How do you guys think the original handles this?
Love to hear your opinion and ideas!
