I believe @MZKM is on east coast, so it's 2:30am there and he's sleeping.Oh, and where are the preference score guys??

These are two of them:Hi Amir. Nice review!
What tracks and what filter do you recommend please?
These are two of them:

The subsonic bass in the second one arrives in the later part of the track. Be very careful! It can severely stress the speaker at higher volumes or damage it.

765.5, -0.55, 3.33,...

I have no idea what the reduced baffle area might contribute (or more accurately reduce) as far as diffraction effects, etc... but I have to say the ones built for the photos (on the Meniscus page) look quite stunning in comparison to the straight "monkey coffin" design from the normal kit. I'm nowhere near good enough in my woodworking skills to pull those off, but maybe having them made wouldn't be too horrendous (but probably double the kit costs at least).

You won't hear the bass that does damage here.Apologies for nit-picking, but the terminology should be sub-bass, not subsonic bass. Subsonic bass implies low level bass (amplitude), so low in level that it can't be heard, not low frequency.
One could also use infrasonic bass, but that's generally reserved for frequencies below 20Hz.
The kit does not come with a knock-down cabinet.The kit cost starts at $630 plush shipping for a pair.
If Amir provides the data files then someone can calculate the EPDR to find out the equivalent load the amp will seeOne thing I noticed in the measurements is that the impedance phase drops to near -70 degrees around 70-80Hz, where there could be a lot of content. Fortunately the magnitude is relatively high, but that large phase angle combined with the low sensitivity of the speakers could stress some (many?) amps when playing these at high volumes.
Thanks. If I can find it, I will visualize it in iZotope RX to see which frequencies are involved.These are two of them:
