In Reply to: Role Audio Skiff, Kayak, Discovery... posted by genungo on August 5, 2014 at 20:10:36:
i've read a few reviews for the kayaks and am interested in them. one reviewer even liked them better than LS3/5A clones, but i'm troubled by the fact that they're a subsidiary of NSM which is SUPPOSED to be their "high end" line, but their model 10S uses totally unacceptable 1/2" MDF.
if kayaks use 1/2" MDF too, i'd put my former energy RC-10s with their ports plugged up against them any day. those speakers had awesome 5 1/2" kevlar woofers with aluminum phase plugs and the new standing waves reducing notches in their surrounds and a truly amazing aluminum dome tweeter with amazing speed and detail without a trace of aluminum signature i was ever able to detect. if only the had beefier cabinets, they'd run toe to toe with more expensive B&W and paradigms.
until i know that role doesn't use 1/2" MDF too, i'm leery of them. i emailed them before coming here to inquire about that. if they do use 3/4" MDF (NOT "green") then i'll take them more seriously.
right now, the $500 sonnance 622s thatr use 1" cabinets are really impressing me as potentially better than superzeros if only theyu use better tweeters.
If it's ported, it's distorted.
