Yup, everyone jumping to conclusions, predicting it to be pretty bad on and on. Now they are eating shoe leather!

Hardly. The objective test results of the speaker are a jagged response disaster. I don't think we've seen worse results across the board to be honest.

It's getting an easy ride in the subjective stakes and that's a concern.

Who knows, the samples are clearly pretty coarse in the plots. Notice the jumps between points.
But we have 10dB swings all through it's response. Lots of them. I'd like to hear one, but they aren't here in Australia.
