Frequency Responses	45Hz to 18kHz ±2dB
Low Frequency Cut-off	-6dB @ 28Hz

If we get them I will post some measurements, big JBLs are not dissimilar though in terms of extension.

I can't un-see, and I want them badly, and I don't even care what they sound like...

Must be awful off-axis what with a 29mm tweeter crossing to a 300mm midrange at 2.5KHz. Further compounded by the horizontal orientation of the tweeter/mid.

Have I missed something?

 

[Purité Audio]

Matt I havent heard them yet, and I only have the technical briefing they sent.

GET.IT.KLIPPEL'd.

[Purité Audio]

I would go for a JBL ‘blue’ baffle.

[Purité Audio]

Stratton have a new ( slightly ) smaller model, They did tell me the name but I have forgotten!
