Is it the midwoofer only?Why does the CSD die around 2.5k?
Sorry about that. Was troubleshooting something there and I guess I forgot to re-run that.Why does the CSD die around 2.5k?
I only wonder why the company sent it to Amir. They could try some audiophile sites that don't post brutal raw data and reviews look like a poem about audio equipment. Bamboo speakers would surely incite their imagination. These are not bad per se but bad for the price.

I am pretty sure the L15.Does anyone know specifically which Seas drivers do they use? It looks like a T25CF01, and an L12 or L15. Both of which require a notch filter to tame the resonances or a very steep x-over. There are better options in SEAS line up for the price, and I wonder why they elected to use those drivers. The tweeter has to be at least 25 years old.
Potentially a smart move..if, like Schiit, they learn from the measurements and comments, and come up with something much better - at 1/4 the price..feel bad that the manufacturer took the risk to send the speaker only to see it get beat up here.

I've been bamboozled! Omar and the Howlers, worth a listenStill, for $3,500, I vote 'Bamboozle'...
For one, see the HDI-1600 at half the price..
According to your simulations, one could almost think that the crossover was simply calculated rather than designed - without taking the influence of the baffle into account.Some overlays of technical curves for AL-1:
Manufacturer was spared the headless panther, so I guess that's some compassionActually feel bad that the manufacturer took the risk to send the speaker only to see it get beat up here.
Not many will take that risk knowing that only the facts will be presented and not softened by advertising dollars.
We do need to be more charitable in these cases, and that includes myself.
Are you going to or have you sent in one or more of your own products for measurement? I only see the old RCR3 and those were lent by an owner.Again, decent drivers but poor crossover execution.
No matter how hard I try, I can't see the beauty.I don't know that everything has to be priced low. Speakers are also basically furniture and there is plenty of crazy expensive furniture out there too; much of it based on style. I see stand speakers at higher prices often dismissed but for those that don't have a dedicated listening room, or if someone wants speakers for a regular room, they can be far more stylish than floorstanders. Speakers like these, while out of my price range, could easily add to rather than take away from the decor in a room. If buying a pacemaker I'll always buy based on science but when buying audio that is also furniture and decor I may buy with my emotions too. And the low volume manufactures always have to balance how many more they'd sell at 1/4 the price to figure if it would be worth the drop.
Check out the $5000 beauties:
People have been groomed to expect small 2 way speakers. The days of ~6" mid range drivers and 12"+ woofers are mostly gone for most people. I for one miss the big-bore speakers but if one looks they are available just not commonly.No matter how hard I try, I can't see the beauty.
It looks like a simple toy
Yep, the new Klipsch Heresy IV and JBL L100 Classic come immediately to mind.People have been groomed to expect small 2 way speakers.

Yep. I did a two-way system about 15 years ago with this tweeter and the L22 driver. (I'm listening to them as I type this.) There's no reason for this type of poor system execution when the drivers are perfectly fine. Ahem.Again, decent drivers but poor crossover execution.
