Summary:
These splits are excellent value for money, on par in SQ with Boston Rally's. The imaging/staging is terrific with every instrument in the music being unbiased from each other in delivery. Female vocals shine on these and crossover rolloff is done right. frequency response is very flat from up high to about 2khz where there is a slight fall from between here and 500hz. This is a very minor quible, but i does allow a need for an Equalizer to up this area which typically comprises of male vocals and low guitar notes. For most people the efficient tweeter will need attenuation which is available via jumpers in the crossover units. These splits need at least 15 watts RMS before the music is balanced, otherwise the tweeters efficiency will drown out the mid/midbass. Hence i do not recommend running them off a head unit, which i did so before matching the splits with a RF-501X. Due to import tarrifs and American Buying power these splits are dirt cheap in the US so stop thinking your poor and get yourself a pair because i payed an equivilent of $200US but i know they go for less the a hundred bucks over there.
