Stupid tax aside,it should work....but not as good as normal speakers.

I'm pretty sure such speakers can be build, so no scam there. But... why would you? I see clear advantages in traditional speaker designs where the magnetic field of the winding is symmetrical around the core, always providing a centric force on the speaker. This "flat coil" design on the other hand seems quite a challenge to correctly align the speaker "cone" without it snapping to one side. I suspect it to be way less robust.
The rest of the claims.. is marketing wank.

And the website sucks. this "new, modern" websites with just one gigantic picture, two polemic lines of text and a button screaming "CLICK MEEEEE!!!!!1111one" in your face... I just hate those.

Lots of laptops and cellphones using oval flat speakers, so, nothing new, or magic, just marketing wank on regular parts.

They're in flatscreen TVs too (though much bigger).

I thought something like that is already in Creative T20 or T40 speakers?
