Very happy with this speaker
Anyway, after this Frankenstein reworking on the box the results are fantastic, or at least to my ears! Mid-highs and highs (e.g. voice) come out beautifully and the bass extension was surprisingly good (well, certainly good enough that one should be able to cross-over to the sub at a reasonably low frequency). So far I've only run a quick test on my 2-channel system, sending the voice-heavy channel to this speaker and letting one of my floor towers fill in the bass - not exactly definitive. Anyway, I can't wait to hear what this sounds like with four 2-way ZA5 vented surround-speakers and a sealed Seas L26ROY based sub to fill in the bottom end.
