An observation that might only be of superficial interest to the thread: I don't think the speakers use Klangfilm woofers. The pictures are a bit grainy, but the dustcaps look far too big for the original Bionor woofers. I would guess this is a "clone" made from the original drawings, but containing no real Klangfilm-components whatsoever... Just my 2c.

Anders, it is possible that it has no real Klangfilm-components whatsoever... I do not know. The Klangfilm 14” woofer are very nice and the MF drivers were nice if to find a good use for them. It is obvious that the system owner was trying use the bid Klangfilm as an inspiration the profile of the LF horn/baffle is the pure Klangfilm’s. What I find is very admirable that the person did not blindly ripped the Klangfilm design but recognized what he did not like and improved upon it. Ironically that it is absolutely irrelevant to me if his final result turn out to be better of worse of the Klangfilm’s original result. He might use in a way inferior to Klangfilm Altec or TAD drivers and have way less interesting result then what Klangfilm had. This is not the point. I try do not judge the result but to assess motivations and methods. I think the motivations were good and the methods are in a right direction. The result?  Like in anything else when a result is a consequence of targeted efforts need to be observed in person. This is not a cookie-cutter of the shelf Wilson, Tannoy, Klangfilm or Western Electric. This is an author’s statement and it might be anything.  To be able to predict something you need to know ether a lot of details or the author himself. At least this is the way how I think…
