Good find!
Add the X300As to a MOTU 16A and you've got a simple, good sounding, up
to 16-channel playback system. Feed the MOTU via USB 2.0, Thunderbolt or
Network. Run 1/4" TS from the MOTU to the X300A's 3.5 mm.

I wonder if the MOTU's USB 2.0 can handle 16 channels? Its Thunderbolt
interface probably can, and the Network certainly can.

This might be a powered alternative KEF version at lower cost :-)
Connectivity is not great USB or 3.5 mm analog connection.

Probably the finest of the "point-source" speakers available these days
is the KEF LS50. It uses a version of their Uni-Q driver. (A much
earlier version of this driver was used in the KEF Egg.)
Measurements of the LS50 by John Atkinson (Stereophile magazine) show it
to be an outstanding design.

It is quite small.
A pair of them retails in the US for around $1300.
