And taken much flack, because the Primus 360 destroys those awful Athena Floorstanders in the same price range.

Floyd Toole and his design team spent a lot of time on the Primus 360 and 150.
And, it shows.
According to Sean Olive, head of subjective testing at Harman International, the Primus 360 has "The Curve"
What is the "Curve" ??
Evidently "The Curve" is tailored frequency response that fits within a plus/minus 3 db window that they have identified as being most pleasing to a double blind listening panel.
Sean told me speakers with this curve usually win in blind listening tests.
Its not BBC dip either.
I guess its something they learned at the NRC ?
Whatever, nice review Jonbee!
