My comment was not meant to criticize the SFR175 but to convey what I was hearing. They are detailed, clear and throw a wide soundstage. I was just listening to Fleetwood Mac Tango in the Night and Stevie Nicks' voice is amazing. These speakers are fantastic and enforce the adage of garbage in, garbage out.
BTW Bass duties are done by a REL T5X sub which integrates seamlessly with the SFR175.

I've decided to order the 096 field coil I'll be using open baffle. This will be my first build, and hopefully my last. Been thinking about it for a while and have a good idea what I'm after, and some idea how to achieve it. I plan to use with a super tweeter and woofers coming in around 150-200...but we shall see, I'll listen to the 096 on its own for a bit.
Plan to get his power supplies and crossovers as well. Excited.

The 096 information was very interesting. Strangely, I have baggage about cheap 6x9 automotive speakers…which these are NOT.
I have considered ordering a second pair of field coils and they were near the top of my interest.
I’ve just hoarded too many drivers and projects at this point that I haven’t tried.
I’ll be interested to read your feedback on them.
Best of luck!
