Thanks KlausR.

I will really appreciate if you can get a copy read the article and give us a more detailed account of its content than I can from memory.
You write that the measurements are: not bad but you have seen better.
Well doesn’t it depend which measurements you are looking for?
Looking at its on-axis frequency response I see an even, very slowly falling response above 300 Hz till 10.000Hz. Something I personally like because most recordings are made (for good reasons!) with the microphones mounted higher and closer to the musicians than where one would normally sit at a concert. Anyway it is less than 2 db we are talking about, and easy to correct. The rise below 300 Hz is as written in the test to a large extent caused by the near field measurement technique used here?!
There are however small bumps at 700 Hz and at 2400 Hz the upper of these are most likely associated with the crossover between the mid driver and the treble unit. In their “technical literature” for the Ex 1 Pioneer states that they are using an 18 dB/octave Butterworth filter, this might give this little peak, though the drivers seems to be connected in phase?! Anyway neither of these frequency peaks should obviously be there, in the first place. But they are actually the only blemish I can find!
The dispersion control in both vertical and lateral plane is simply to my way of thinking almost perfect from Dc till 8700 Hz
I can only wonder how it would sound with the beryllium cone from the TAD Monitor 2 and a digital crossover.
With a state of the art Sub woofer and a room correction system thrown in, it would still be much cheaper than even a pair of Wilson Watt Puppy. Makes me wonder!

I look forward to your comments after reading the Audio test.
