    Indeed I would expect it to be crap! However in possible defence of the thing, an ex colleague at MF and Alchemist reckoned it was the best sound he had ever heard! I've not heard it myself.

    A pair of front loaded 15" drivers in small sealed rear boxes with reflective surfaces all round, firing into a too short, undamped horn with parallel side walls will inevitably have major problems.

    It's rather like using two Voigt horns on their sides. Except Voigt got his right(ish).
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
