General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Another PHL open back bass and mid

This unit was put together by ORCA folks to show off their wares.
Raven R3, PHL 12" as open baffle mid (seen), PHL 18" open baffle bass (unseen). The 18 is mounted behind the screen below the 12 mid.

The 12 mid really caught my attention. It had tone and grace without being a presentation that made chesty vocals or dark piano. Very impressive. And ability to behave well to 800hz. First time I've heard their creations with the R3 that didn't sound strained at the low end of the ribbon. They seem to drive that unit to 500hz and it IMO just don't like it.
