i remember them as having a significant peak at ~ 10kHz (then CPS). that and the flabby bass made me leave the room every time.

it took decades of AMT abstinence to be able to accept them again. maybe the golden ears were part of that, then my friend Paul Squillo was selling custom speakers with a large format amt that crossed over at 500Hz with two 12" eminence woofers that was a revelation for me. the dynamic performance was also a big plus.

it's encouraging to see the AMTs in so many makers products but i would love to see the large format amt come to fore to fully take advantage of not having a crossover in the midrange.
