Another loudspeaker that was pretty clearly intended to "leverage" (there I go, verbing again) their environment (the room) to do their job was the original DCM timewindow. Not really of the 901 school, though -- although their use of a piece of Sonotube as an integral part of the enclosure design was pretty darned clever.
I own a pair of (probably) the world's ugliest original series timewindows. Sound great, though.
Surprisingly sensitive/easy to drive, too.

I think the goal of the Bozak tweeter array was more about dispersion than reflection... but I am far from a Bozak expert.

I am surprised that [A]mar Bose aka Mr. Litigious, didn't sue the pants off some of these companies...
especially Micro Acoustics!
