One thing that has intrigued me about Alexa-type assistant products and bluetooth speaker products is the 360 degree sound radiation pattern, compared to the usual approximately on-axis stereo listening of a traditional hi-fi speaker setup. The speaker hardware in those products will be mediocre at best but is the idea of two downfiring sources into a radial emittance patterns potentially going to provide even better spatial imaging than the traditional layout. Has anyone tried making hifi Alexa-type stereo speakers with quality drivers and electronics?

Some of the best speakers I have heard are the Linkwitz(?) mini.
They do need some space to breathe though. They are not open baffle, but they certainly do sound staging.

I remember reading about them some time ago but there was not any review on the sound quality.
