Hi Tim, FR STATS share similar problems with so called FR cone speakers in that IM distortion is the dominating factor of distortion and its audible very much audible, you pick what you like and THATS that..but IMO 8 way 13-80kc covers all the octaves with less distortion(including the terrible IM) then any STAT will now... Meet Fulton the ,Large premiere's only speaker that can play a grand piano like no other :)
now some people may disagree with me and that fine because there is no horn system, lowther, STAT, that will play like the real thing in your home like the large fulton system can.high sensitivity does not mean hi fidelity.
Edit: for jeff :) a large fulton speaker with the "80 driver" for the mid-range will play and sound very similar like a real piano is what i mean to say organically

- Yes, I am aware of that 'problem' FREDs are very low distortion. - Timbo in Oz 15:55:22 04/14/17 (0)
