Looking at that response curve, one can only arrive at the conclusion that the design here is fundamentally flawed. As the lab analyst himself states, that Alpine landscape of steep peaks and valleys speaks loudly of "poor integration of the bass-mid driver and tweeter through crossover" which to be sure "may serve to disguise some break-up resonances" in the driver cone. That might help in giving a first impression of some kind of faux liveliness.Shocking, in fact, for a model this expensive. Like Kessler says, "Be ready for surprises." Where were all the engineers? The golden ears don't seem to work.
But he himself is happy that the model now comes in that rare red finish he has always coveted, rewarding it with the maximum rating possible and declaring his adoration for the speaker that's "still the prettiest...on the planet."
Compare only with the first one of the two models Klaus offers as a counterpoint (K+H 0300), and that just about tells it all. No need to go further. What are they going to offer us next in nice candy wrappers and with a price tag from Tiffany's? It's a sad world.
