A few memorable quotes (or gist of them) "Flat response doesn't mean it sounds good, it means it's accurate" "It's got good bones" "I didn't have to redesign anything in the crossover" "Polk does a really good job"

    R200 for comparison:

    Spectral decay pretty good but shows some ringing around 1.1 kHz......stamped basket ringing?......backwave?
