I purchased the drivers used in these with the idea of cloning them. The bass unit is a 10" bass guitar driver. After much crossover modeling and cabinet iterations, decided that these would not work for me.
Looking at the full range woofer, it is far from flat, the crossover comes in high and the woofer is run fullrange. After much work I saw a frequency response plot for them, looked a lot like the plots provided by Emminance for the raw drivers.
I suspect the uneven frequency response is part of the allure of these. Peaks and dips CAN make speakers sound faster and more dynamic. Also can make them sound the opposite.
The other issue is the free air resonance of the 10' driver is 45 Hz. This puts a crimp on bass response.
But these seem to be speaker that is greater than the sum of its parts. The 20.00 horn tweeter and 90.00 woofer somehow end making a speaker that is good to listen to, not so great for measurements.George
