New Børresen M6 flagship speakers

[fpitas]

Stop complaining people - with a pair of subwoofers, these will become SOTA

Hmmm. Now, I'm an MTM fan. I even MTMed my horn. But that C-C distance of the mids above and below the tweeter looks excessive. It will blend if you're far enough away, but then the poor little "woofers" will strain to even make say, 100Hz.

Maybe, but for what money?

I don't know if this is true in your part of the world, but in China, those who are willing to buy these expensive products generally believe that a system with subs is not "HIFI" enough.

I would hope at that price, it would not desperately need subs.

How much bass can 6X4.5 inch drivers output anyways ?

You may have misunderstood my meaning, I was saying those words in a more sarcastic tone, those audiophiles think that with the subwoofer is not hifi like with the EQ is not hifi.

When is Genelec going to start using zirconium?

I also don't like subwoofers or speakers that are forced with EQ to sound good - although I'm not Chinese.

I don't recall basket resonance being a huge problem. It remains to be seen if their spiffy cone construction minimizes break-up modes.

You can also get a 14 channel surround setup with the new Genelec flagships for the same money…

Well, I guess since these are 2.5-way speakers counting six 4.5" (mid)woofers is fair, that's equivalent to two 8" drivers. So maybe this much on a good day, although I suspect them to have less excursion than these: https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/loudspeakers/klipsch_rp_8000f_ii/

20Hz bass extension I really doubt, certainly not anechoic at any significant SPL.

For a cool half million you get Best Buy level specs. I guess the target audience doesn't know a dB from an ohm.

They claim 20Hz

 

[fpitas]

They claim 20Hz

Sure. But at what SPL? And is it flat to 20Hz (yeah; right)?

 

[3125b]

They claim 20Hz

Without qualifying that. Sure these will technically reproduce 20Hz content, just really quietly.

 

[voodooless]

They claim 20Hz

No way in hell will it do 20 Hz with any decent SPL.

You really don't want this Well, unless you plan to win the lottery

Yeah. I hope Genelec doesn't start designing by buzzwords, too.

Theoretically 78 dB at 1 meter at 20 Hz for sealed enclosure?
