RE:Improved bass response for Absoloute Zero

If I remember correctly, when Ken Kantor designed the original Superzero one of his goals was the deliberate limitation of bass response. By deliberately limiting bass response, he hoped to free the "woofer" of the Superzero from the reproduction of bass frequencies. That way, the small midrange/upper bass driver could be dedicated to the ultra-clean reproduction of midrange/upper bass frequencies alone. The need for dedicated subwoofers was thought of a positive thing, in other words...

It is therefore possible that some of the midrange clarity, one of the hallmarks of the Superzero, has been lost to some degree in the "improved" Absolute Zero design. I have not compared the two speakers so I cannot say for sure, of course.

Making "improvements" sometimes involves making sacrifices, too.
