Frequently Asked Questions
The coaxial design merges the tweeter and woofer, creating a single point source which improves stereo imaging and reduces phase issues common with separate drivers.
They handle bass well, but the low-end isn't as impactful or controlled as higher-end monitors; sub bass extension will be limited.
The EQ allows for noticeable adjustments to the overall tonal balance, especially helpful for correcting common room acoustic issues; don't expect miracles, but it's a powerful tool.
