I've been listening to them at 85 dB (C) at 3m distance with no sign of limiting on a variety of source material. Useable distance will obviously be dependent on your listening level, but they can certainly be stretched past the typical 1-2m near field distance.
For the operating area of subwoofers, these efficiency number tell you very little actually. Parameters and cabinet design are far more important for the actual efficiency.

Very nice drivers, but not ideal for this design given their physical depth. Definitely a driver that is contention for future designs.Excellent job. I know they aren't out yet, but it is always interesting to see new speakers with great measurements.
Were the new Epique drivers considered?

Yes, you can put them right up against the front wall. The cardioid pattern is not user tunable, it is one of the tuning options available along with a standard tuning (non cardioid tuning). I think you're referring to the cardioid being adjustable in my earlier posts where I described how we can manipulate it in many ways while designing the speaker, but this is not something that we open up to users. Crossing over to a sub up to 150Hz won't change the performance since the cardioid kicks in above 150Hz.
Hi, Deni, are the speakers on the market now?
Yes, the speakers are now shipping. Several dealers have demo pairs and stock available.
That link is supposedly infected, per Avast Security (@BDWoody )
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've contacted Avast to resolve this issue.
