MHO...no.The physics of the speaker preclude 'accurate' reproduction over a bandwidth that relates to the range of human hearing.

| New York HiFi Show: Tubes and Turntables trelja, thanks....*S* I'll agree with ML's...nice units. I've a soft spot for esl's, since in some ways they gave rise to ribbons and AMT's. I'm a dipole fanboy as well as 'things omni'...and mapman and I do share an appreciation for Ohms. I'm... | |
