If one is thinking of using these speakers, then how do they generate PEQ settings like @pierre did in post #35 for the Vandersteen 2C?

Did anyone compute an “Olive Score” for these?

As well as the preference scores before and with PEQs?

Just go to spinorama.org and lookup your speaker, in this case click here.

Score is 4.3, it jumps to 5.5 with a large subwoofer. If you add an EQ, then
Score is 7.1 and up to 7.9 with eq and subwoofer.

The price in the review is for a single speaker not a pair, they start at $20k lol

Solid midrange and tweeter performance. The two ways below that, however, have a certain WTF factor. That's a rather unhappy midwoofer and ferrite core inductors.

 

[raindance]

A large floorstanding speaker with depressed bass? What a waste of space.

WAF, and liking the other half, can be a consideration.

I think that adding in the PEQs to get towards that 7.9 preference score should be better than not doing so.

The price in the review is for a single speaker not a pair, they start at $20k lol

The lawyer said that fellows being somewhat sensitive to WAF compliance, find it cheaper than using his services.
Hence I asked the other half.

Also some people are ok with using second hand gear.

One really needs to have a strong leaning towards time domain response and the step function response, to justify the trade offs.
Many are luckily unencumbered with that, but some people do not find that the speaker having every other driver going in the wrong direction to be correct… and find it fatiguing or otherwise troubling to listen to.
“Horses for courses.”
