well you must believe your own ears more than frequency charts 😉
there certainly seems to be a wide range of opinions on these drivers...

Let me make note of what I see here that makes a difference... room placement (a lot of space behind), wide baffle, driver placement low near the floor.
What amplifier are you using? And from where did you purchase the drivers, from the Lii Audio website or...?

Speakers are like guitars. I bought two higher end units and they both do one thing I dont like, boom (in speaker terms, one note bass) on the A 110/220 Hz. But...they do other stuff acoustically that I find I just have an affinity for playing them. Almost like a bond, that just isnt happening with other guitars I have. So listening to a speaker is like that; it either pulls you into its "field" of what it does - or it doesnt. There's other qualities you're personally picking up on that best the failing in this or that aspect.

Of course, I havent fully decoded what makes one guitar "Magic" while another is a "Dog". I'm thinking about it and running some tests. Frequency response anomalies are certainly a part of it, but not the whole story.

I bought the units from Lii europe.
As you said placement is key.There's something about these speakers that makes me like them.They do certain things real good .I listen mainly to clasdical and hard bob.Voices are reproduced live like.Orchestras / violins so smooth.
Still own my Magnepans 1.7.Before that I owned some Tannoy D900' s.
I like the Lii' s more.
I' ve seen the youtube video you posted.Even reacted to it. Like you said.I listen with my ears when I play music and don' t look at a tone generator.
