how is the soundstage considering the narrow dispersion , that's the one question I have...

FYI, in case you've heard a system from KEF, Neumann, Genelec, Buchardt, D&D, Kii before, horizontal directivity on the F6B is just like those:

I'm no expert. Soundstage nearly all focussed between the speakers. But what was most noticeable was imaging and separation was so clear compared to my previous QA 3020i speakers these have replaced.

That's kinda what I figured, generally that type dispersion has narrow soundstage with very focused imaging, it's a nice trade off in many set ups...enjoy, sounds like you found a great option...

Hey, how many of them do you have and critical listen I hope the sound did not opend up and please tell as is this is a "giant speaker killer" that can replace Debut first time generation floorstander's to and on what amplifier (RMS)?
That is half the money then the book shelf speaker.
What is the price with delivery here in Europe cone some one explain?
I what C6 aluminum woffers in color, finishing?

 

[Purité Audio]

Not a ‘giant killer’ ( whatever that is) just a very transparent compact two way loudspeaker , which is relatively inexpensive.

Was £553 direct from Ascilab delivered to the UK. No sign of import duty fees yet. I'm running them with a Wiim Amp Pro.

Well phrased. We get obsessed with "the new best-est ever thing" way too much. Sometimes the gain is "good enough"

 

[Kotrmelec]

Yes, that's what GR research was called one of there's speaker little full range speaker it was reviewed here, and it crash and burned just stupid name....
So my question was is this capable replace little Tower speaker 100 cm tall max.
I read so much for distortion MD,IMD, Doppler and I would always buy little tower with good construction and parts you can get pretty low if you like ANDREW JONES debut tower models,here in Europe you can buy for 300 EU any kind of those and you don't need stand.
My biggest point is 2 pairs of woffers that digging below 100Hz and it has more insade space for port not huge but more, so middle one has no effort to move you that heavy bass and it can stay pretty still.
Yeah I what for cheap well build 3-way design any day of the week.
Feel free to burst my bubble....

Dual woofers always help with distortion and loudness, all else being equal. Alas, the latter is not always true. Designs for example that are 2.5 way, mess up when all three drivers (and the port) are firing.

 

[Bucking]

Does anyone know if it's possible to only buy one?

I want to use one on its side as a center channel

So I answer myself, I bought Topping PA7 to match,...and its great, happy with my setup right now

I bought an Edifier T5 subwoofer (cheap as chips) to run alongside the speakers and add the missing bass. My amp is a Wiim Amp Pro as you may have spotted in the photo above. Crossover is at 100Hz. And it sounds lovely. I'm so impressed with these speakers I've stopped watching TV . Might well be a function of what I had before Vs what I have now. But still.

I'm ploughing my way through this playlist the last few days and finding myself staying up later and later. https://tidal.com/playlist/9ec7dd15-0020-43a7-a91f-768c80582c0c
