The cylindrical, topless cone look, for starters, is there because of the speaker’s ‘killer app’: Its use of a large, circular, up-firing driver cut into the speaker’s upper third. This is designed to produce a 360-degree sound so that anyone standing in a circle around it enjoys exactly the same sound quality as everyone else in the circle. Such completely omnidirectional sound is sure, of course, to make the RP4 a big hit at parties, where people tend not to congregate in a straight line in front of a traditional forward-facing speaker.
