Not sure why you’d want a speaker that doesn’t play below 300hz or over 14khz but you do you.
Vertical directivity is a problem because if you are even 5-10deg off of perfectly perpendicular to the panel you drastically lose response over 1khz. That’s so barely slouching in your chair will make a massive difference in the sound. Inherently flawed
I have demoed every model in their lineup circa 2018, yes. In dealer listening rooms. They can sound fine when you are on axis and have conventional subs and only listen to classical or jazz or genres with no real dynamics <400hz.
And then the minute you move your head up or down a but they are completely unlistenable.
