On wall installation possible !

A lot like Magnepan it appears,

I can't find where it says on wall installation possible but with a dipole system I find that hard to believe. As Bill says, looks a lot like Magnepan, which is a good thing.

To answer the question in the title of the thread, yes, they are worth a try. They might be terrible though, or they might be good. Looking at the manufacturer's website, there is very little in the way of information, the tech specs section does not include any technical specifications, for example.

@Mr_Bill and @Pim state that they look like Magnepan speakers, which they do. However, in some pictures what looks like conventional conical drivers can be seen.

They do look very nice though, very sleek and stylish. This may not be a good thing of course, a case of prioritising aesthetic design over performance perhaps.

So more information and a listen required I think. Are they very new?

I think the picture with conventional drivers is just drawings on the covering fabric

Ouch!  Although I did use the phase “may not be a good thing”, so it’s not a given, sometimes aesthetic design goes hand in hand with state of the art performance.
