«  Superb quality at price attack »

Published on 02/20/12 at 03:49
Bought new on sale € 127, at ** Sonov you.
used for several months.
Yes, I have tried many other models (Mackie, EV, JBL115, HQ Power, Samson, Altec vintage, Martin Audio, HK, CSA, etc.).

The advantages:
superb midrange and treble. very defined, no saturation, or compression.
The voices are beautiful, the slamming drums dry and strong, very dynamic.
Beautiful performance, measured the sound level meter with pink noise 2v83 to 99dB. (But the average impedance is of the order of 5.5 Ohms, so slightly in perspective)
Nice build quality (I have removed) boxes reinforced with cleats, beautiful components (however, pressed steel bowl), small volume of absorbent wool polyester black, beautiful hardware.
Power handling without problem.

Disadvantages:
uh .. I see too ..
otherwise, the subwoofer is a little behind: I measured the spectrum amplitude / frequency: 5db drop between 90 and 80Hz; it is-10dB at 55Hz, below 50Hz, much more.
rework a bit the equalizer to use full range.
But this is quite normal for pregnant high yielding.

Additional small detail: I added a layer of glass wool at the bottom of the enclosure, a volume of 5 liters, and this has removed a bump to 300 Hz in the spectrum which would be due to a small resonance ; to do so.

Price / quality ratio great (especially on sale).
I rachèterais, yes, because at this level of quality and price, there was the signing bonus of Wharfedale.
