I believe these will be among the best sounding speakers of this class (traditional cone drivers in a modest sized solution) used today. I don't know how it could get much better without some VERY costly, complex, and size/shape changes which would make no sense for @heeman to use.

I would love to learn about the noise floor of that unit. One of the things I love about many of the modern and very affordable class-d amps is their shockingly low noise floors in real world use. Often so low you cannot tell the system is even on until the music starts. But, in my tests at...

If you are selling and no one is biting, let me know. I don't need one right now, but I tend to buy about 3 to 5 a year.

Dude! A "little validity?"

Quite a long time ago got into the Shure IEM earphones and every few years, when I felt I had gotten my money's worth from the model I had been using, I would upgrade to the next better model. I started with the SE2xx level model, when to the SE3xx, then the SE5xx level before finally going to...

1/12th in this case.

This afternoon I measured the bass dynamics performance of these speakers in the room, both together, at 0.2W, 2W, 20W, and 200W (I had to use a different amp to get the 200W measurement). As you can see, the frequency response shows little to no dynamic compression in this condition. This is...

If you claim to be a power-pop lover and haven't heard of Bleu (aka: Bleu McCauley), then you are missing out.

I find those baffles disturbingly sexy.

Well, I like it. I cannot place the genre exactly, part of why I like them. I'd say melodic pop rock cool and kinda avante garde? Maybe?

These are in my drum room, while treated to make the drums sound good, it isn't treated for stereo listening. So, it would just be whatever it happens to be. But, I'll look into it.

I didn't bother with those charts, but I can easily make the power compression measurements. I'll do that soon enough and post the results. To do accurate waterfall measurements of the speakers, I'll have to take them outside for a free field measurement session, which is a harder task. Maybe...

I was asked privately these speakers' response in the location where they are installed. Well, I happen to have that data. This is the 1/3rd Octave Smoothed response of the left speaker on axis (Black) and 30 degrees to the inside (Red) and 30 degrees to the outside (Purple) at 1M in the room...
