I don't know...the measurements don't wow me that much. They look jagged.
I tend to view those really small jaggies as not very audible, especially if they're low in magnitude(like they are here), but perhaps I'm wrong to do so. There are a lot of them here, though, for sure.
What could be causing that? Is it possible that it's the extra 1000 measurement points Amir took for this speaker? Comparing it to the F208, it's really interesting. They have almost the exact same low Q peaks/dips. The only difference seems to be that the F328Be
also has a bunch of really tiny high Q peaks/dips within those low Q peaks/dips that it shares with the F208.
For example, compare the areas circled in red on the left and right images, then compare the areas circled in blue. Look at the broad(low Q) peaks and valleys, where they are, and how deep/high they are. If you ignore all the high Q jaggies of the graph on the left, it's almost like you're looking at the
exact same speaker. The image on the left - to me - looks like a higher resolution copy of the image on the right. Is it possible that all the extra jagginess(and most of the lower Olive score) is attributable to the extra measurements that Amir took for this speaker?
After all, these speakers do share a lot of the same attributes, with the main difference being the Be tweeter.
Bass is different, for sure, and that's actually the biggest difference I notice(if I'm ignoring the higher resolution peaks/dips on the left). Weirdly, the F208 seems to have noticeably better bass. The bass on the F328Be seems kinda lackluster, considering the speakers size and price.
In summary, I do see the 328 as the better speaker, but just barely. To my eyes, you're basically buying an F208 clone with lower distortion.
Is it worth 2x the price? From a value perspective, probably not, but such is the nature of diminishing returns. That last 5% of performance is always the most expensive.
