You hit the nail on the head there Bowtie, I spend the majority of my time looking for anomaly's instead of ingesting the performance as a whole. well that and continuously changing the settings to make everything sound good.

Too much money to risk on that adventure. Point source is wonderful but I think there are better matched systems than the 604 offers. Your asking an awful lot of a 15" to go to 1600 hz and sound good doing it. Also a HF horn should be of equal SPL or lower than the woofer SPL to really blend nicely because of the directivity they produce. Attenuators will do that, but at the expense of killing the open natural tone. I will admit they are great for impressing your friends with ear deafining loudness with zero distortion, but after you've impressed all of them your stuck with a system that just doesn't cut it for everyday listening. It was a fun journey and a great learning experience but time to move on. I won't toss the 604's into the fire until I hear the alternative.
