That's not fair, I said they were terrible and had the crap bashed out of me, you say they sound awful and get away with it. Perhaps I should have said they are terribly awful or awfully terrible and everyone would have left me alone. I have heard them too so I'm not just saying this to talk crap which is is why i said they are terrible. Is terrible worse than awful or is awful worse than terrible? We need a scale here. Maybe someone can invent one. What about 0-10 where zero is rubbish and 10 is not rubbish?I don't mean to sound rude, but maybe try to listen to a speaker that is considered well-engineered? It may change that person's mind about what to expect out of a speaker. Also, its a damn treat to listen to one. (Personally I don't like either speaker--each has its own problems; remember that FR is only one aspect of speakers--so I don't really care in this case.)
Have you not read a single review here? There is a subjective portion to the reviews too (which to me is the less important part of the review but whatever). And if you need ANOTHER anecdote, I have heard these and they are awful. So we cancel each other out? What now? Do we need more random internet opinions? If you hate science so much why don't you go to another place where everything is special? At least here there is serious thought behind accolade or criticism. Debate is certainly welcome here, but be respectful enough to try to understand the basic engineering concepts and ideas that go into actually making speakers and don't just blather on as if an anecdote means anything. Do you not believe that measurements can tell us things our ears can't? Would you dismiss microscopes? Would you prefer a subjective review of television color accuracy? Or do you believe in golden eyes? Imagine the stupidity of such a youtube channel and you'll understand a lot of these audio reviewers. You are welcome to like more green tint, that is your choice, but do you not recognize the benefits of color accuracy and range? Or even of how it can help you with your preferences?
As for the 2k dip and 1.5k hole maybe the Klipsch bean counters said here's $42 make me a speaker. After spending the allocated $42 they had no money to correct the dip, so that's how the speaker left the factory.
