Measurements from Prof. Goertz who measures also the studio monitors for the Sound & Recording magazine:


Imho very decent, especially max SPL for a 6,5" 2-way, on the other hand for similar price without the sub at least in Europe you can get also a 3-way Neumann KH310 with similar SPL (and probably less IMD in the mids) and with the subwoofer you are in price regions of the bigger Genelec Ones and Neumann KH420.

That's pretty impressive, I'd say...
 
Funny how the midwoofer is clearly the weak link, in spite of how insanely loud it'll go for a 6.5" (I reckon that's past 200 W input power at 500-600 Hz). The horn-loaded dome tweeter seems to be a real champ, makes you wonder why you don't see concepts like that more often.

What I find a bit puzzling is the relative lack of signal processing options (highpass or room matching). Level handling would no doubt benefit further if the sub could be crossed at around 100 Hz instead, but that you'd have to do externally. I bet a 2.1 setup could make quite the racket like that.

It is a nice although true to be said good domes in more shallow waveguides don't make less SPL though:

How do they compare to Genelec was looking at this for a 15.4.6 but that would be extremely expensive!
