Hey guys, guess what I got! This country is a Hi-Fi paradise.

I just had to have them. The resolution is awesome, very very similar to JBL 4410's, you can hear everything.

The sound stage is huge and goes above and around me, the bass is thunderous.

They can trigger the fight or flight response! Should I stay in the room or run?

When they hit, the soundstage does not fall apart, they maintain it.

No compression, no change in sound, just LOUD!

You have to hear it to believe it.

The fact that the mid plays from 400 Hz to 2.5 kHz, blows my mind.

The tweeter playing so low is also incredible.

The mid's sensitivity is 95dB, it's more sensitive than the tweeter and woofer.

I've been pushing them with Yamaha A1020 amp, which I also got very cheap, looking and working like new.

Measured DC on the speaker outs, 0/10 mV!

Pure Class A too, if you want to heat up your room!

Guys, all those new/expensive speakers...

I had no idea, we had something like this, 30-40 years ago!

Mind blown.

Presumably that's corrected in the crossover.... We wouldn't want a midrange bump in frequency response. ;)

Do you really think it would not be leveled (70 - 20,000 Hz ± 2 dB)? :)

The dynamic range of these is... brutal :cool:
