    I becoming a big believer in full range + tactfully integrated subs

    It goes against the purist reasons these drivers exist, but I think high end widebanders would really benefit from some EQ. Heard some tonally off but otherwise excellent AER BLHs early this year with e-stat like transparency.

    Hmm, I have an Omega 2.1 system. I fully agree with the use of a sub. I’ll have to try scoping out the mids once I get a Loki.

    What about a neat regular xo to tame it a bit? This or plxo would be my choice, when approacing true high end. Phase response would be a massacre after pistonic response (3..4 kHz) anyway.

    @Priidik - Actually I have been thinking about that as well as perhaps adding an ambience tweeter. But then it gets all frankenspeakerish and my head says just get another speaker design. One thing these big FR drivers do is big sound that no 5.25 in two way bookshelf match. At least not the under $700 ones I have tried.
