Not flat though. They require a 4th order crossover and some hard work to tame them. However, once the peaks are eliminated, they are efficient at 93dB and can be made quite flat in response.
PHL have decent resolution as well. However, their resolution is not up to certain super exotics.
Lowthers and Fostex (beetle juice and banana peels are nothing to brag about IMO ) are low-res drivers that distort just above table radio levels due to no throw to speak of. Their frequency response is horrifying and there is no low freq that they can produce without immense distortion. I have heard many iterations of both. They are a joke IMO.
YMMV
