Robin, I don't know why, but for no reason at all I was thinking the 1" polyester driver was a dome! Its being a compression driver likely means a 2" diaphragm, and it certainly opens the door for sub-2kHz performance. Actually, it's 8" drivers doing 45Hz that I find most puzzling. I have read and heard Danley's various explanations several times, having to do with wavelengths vs. driver diameters, vs. the "point source" theories he espouses. Since the 2X 8" drivers phase out at 260Hz on top, I suppose they have pretty heavy cones and long excursions to make Fs, so it all works out on paper. It's just that this sort of implementation runs counter to my experience, which makes it kind of fascinating to me, at least in the context of Danley's explanations. I would sure like to hear this stuff playing recordings I could take seriously. And, like Romy, based on personal experience, I find FR DSP hard to swallow.
Best regards,
