Purchased as backup for my two custom designed NRP subwoofers which use this same Superbass white woofer. The
G600s feature square midrange and tweeter drivers - the plastic waveguide tweeter grilles are missing - but
this is not too bad as in my opinion, they caused the tweeter to sound fuzzy.
How would
I know ? - I was the one who assembled and tested these speakers originally in the factory !
At F&P we performed
listening tests as part of the manufacturing process. If there was a crossover fault, or an out-of-phase
speaker connection, or any minor fault, then this would easily be detected by listening or from the printed
speaker response graphs. Bass is the strong point of this design - the woofer is light and springy which gives
fast bass response and with twin ports there is ample room coupling.
Placement is
important to avoid boominess - just raise the speakers off the floor : 6 - 10 inches [ 20cm ]
Sound quality is very
involving and immediate without being too squawky - this tells you that the crossover and
woofer / mid / tweeter transitions are well controlled. By that we mean that the various crossover
components divide the sound spectrum to each speaker without undue phase shifts and correctly for each driver
characteristic.
The rosewood veneer cabinets are light as well - but don't be fooled though - this model is springy,
efficient and yet can take 150W input power for a nominal 70W RMS rating.
