as per Ascendo:

The design effort that went into this loudspeaker model is enormous. Its 24 kg heavy and 30 cm super-coax single-point sound source and its extremely fast 40 cm bass driver, which plays down to the lowest bass registers and is specially manufactured according to the highest high-end quality standards,
are among the best that the world market has to offer. Both loudspeaker drivers are housed in a solidly constructed, extremely stiffened and vibration-damped closed cabinet. 
The state-of-the-art ASCENDO Speaker Management electronics are housed in an electromagnetically shielded steel base. 

As is customary only with the highest quality high-end chains, each coax single-point sound source
and super bass driver has its own autonomous, completely separate amplifier units in the best sonic monobloc design. The four amplifier blocks allow for the very best combination of vertically and horizontally arranged bi-amping. Thus, even the deepest bass does not affect the outstanding playback quality of the mid/high frequency driver, even at enormous levels. In doing so, the LIVE 15 completely redefines bass performance. 
The ASCENDO Speaker Management technology enables the direct, unbuffered connection of coax and bass drivers to their 650 W and 1000 W sine wave amplifier units, respectively, taking the resolution and detail of the music to a new level of reference that was previously unattainable with conventional technology. 

Thanks to integrated room measurement functions, you can experience this enthusiasm and absolute joy of listening to music even in the most difficult spatial conditions. Glass-hard walls, sparse furniture, etc. are no longer a room acoustic problem. The LIVE 15 draws on the full range in
every respect. And it is precisely this performance that immediately captivates the listener and far from any limitations. The holographic imaging quality of the coax single-point sound source goes hand in hand with the highest musicality and balance, coupled with a fabulous dynamic capability and a no less breathtaking resolving power. The extremely fast LIVE 15 amazes and inspires immediately. 

The LIVE 15 is not only extraordinary – it is exceptionally good.
