FrankHarveyHiFi:dino560b:Placing that many bass drivers in a small (ish) box is never a good recipe. It generally means there is too much piston area for the available cabinet volume. The results tends to be an emphasis for to much mid-bass energy and can be deemed to be 'muddy' or 'thick' in the bass. I could imagine these work OK in a typical US style room which is generally larger and built from wood. But in a U.K room with solid construction, I doubt they are a good match. This is why KEF didn't make the other two drivers active - the designer has stated that making them active would actually give no more bass than having a single active one - the use of the ABR's allowed the benefits of a port in a sealed cabinet.
What does ABR stand for?
I thought they were called BMRs.
