Balanced Mode Radiators are not a gimmick; they're the result of decades of research and a spin-off from military research stretching back many decades. The technology was popularised by NXT, which has licensed BMRs for many applications. The benefits include a wide bandwidth and propagation of sound across the 180° plain; the drivers are way less directional than normal speakers.
