Pros: Incorporates the iconic all-aluminum Turbine Head dedicated midrange enclosure, isolating the 5-inch Continuum driver from cabinet resonances. Dual 7-inch Aerofoil drivers achieve true sub-20Hz in-room extension (19Hz -3dB).
Cons: Pronounced treble elevation imparts a distinctly bright character that can fatigue ears on hot recordings. Heavy 137-lb cabinet and 3.0-ohm minimum impedance require high-current amplification.
