I see that Pete Riggle of VTAF fame [NOTE: I use his VTAF and am well pleased.] is one of the writers.  Thanks for the URL.

Awesome yes, insane ? Yes insane, then again $60,000 for the completed speaker is way below some of the esoteric designs of say Wilson, Focal and so on. So a bargin eh !

My read on it was that the $60k driver set was the inspiration but that their vintage drivers were about $1k and the whole project clocked at about $2,000.  Long article, maybe I read wrong.
