Neil Blanchard MLTL-6

Neil Blanchard MLTL-6's. Anyone have experience with these? The measurements look decent.

Here is the frequency response. Is this good?

Frequency Response graph is missing the bottom two octaves or so..

I noticed the same. I thinking that might be a limitation of their method of measuring. I am also wondering if it looks better as it stretched out horizontally more than others I have seen. I could be wrong though. Not trying to start anything just want to make an informed decision.

Here's the same measurement but in a more normal aspect ratio:


1/24th smooting applied to get rid of some digitization artefacts.

Is it me or is this not as smooth could be

Some of that very well may be the room. It's hard to know...

When you’d want to convince yourself ASR-style that these are the speakers you should spend your time, energy and $1k on I’d say: not enough data.

That alone would make them a pass for me in 2025.

FWIW and YMMV!

Would you consider this good? It looks pretty jumpy by my eyes, but I am just an amateur.

Rednaxela is right. If you follow ASR then you would know that a single on-axis in-room measurement is not enough data to have an opinion on a speaker.

If this is quasi-anechoic, then it's pretty bad.

If it's in-room, then the graph is useless for judging speaker quality.

Can you post the graph with Psychoacoustic smoothing? That 5kHz peak "looks" bad but is quite narrow and maybe not very audible.

Here is the MLTL_6 in red compared to the Elac Carina BS243.4 green with psychoacoustic smoothing. (I choose the Elac only because it was one of the more recent posts, so I was lazy and grabbed the easiest data I could.) The MLTL-6 might be a little "hot" above 4kHz. SPL is normalized at 1.5kHz and looks to be voiced with the "smiley face" SPL. The MLTL-6 data doesn't show below 100Hz which is unfortunate because the MLTL presumably plays pretty flat to 40Hz or below. As mentioned above, it is too bad he doesn't provide more/better measurements. If it was a free design that would be harder to criticize, but I'd have a hard time paying $100 without more measurements.

Too many red flags with this one. Wants money but provides very little in the way of data. Tweeter response looks poor and woofer looks to have a good bit of resonances.
