It's remarkable how they can sell these speakers in the US for $299 the pair

Here's a ported 2-way designed in the US and assembled in the US from mostly Chinese parts. Sold direct to consumer, the MSRP is $299 the pair. I'd say that they are cutting their profits pretty thin.

I have written a very "Long and Winding Road" review, because my readers like "Long-Form 'Think Pieces'."

At the end of the day, whether the compromises embodied in this speaker will work for you I think can only be resolved by an in-home trial. Fortunately, the maker offers an MBG.

But another way to look at it is, for $299 you get a nice-looking pair of cabinets, and you can either redesign or upgrade the crossover, or throw out all the innards (or sell them) and find nicer drivers to fit the cutouts!

(1) Yes, new in box.

(2) In the fullness of time, Michael Fremer will pay me for writing the linked-to article, and that will be my only financial compensation. That's the way professional journalism works. And of course, I did not keep the review pair.
