Me either, though there are some folks on the fullrange forum that swear by them. Just looking at specs, they have abysmal efficiency and a very high Q, though Babb specs them much higher and has stated that their drivers can't be defined by T/S due to their unique design. Yeah, right, if it has an impedance peak and compliance it can be defined by T/S. Me and some others have hammered Alan some on this point, but without hearing/measuring them in-room we're not sure how much it affects the speaker's response.

Greg, so you are the guy Alan has asked to review the Lorelei! I have been following the full range driver forum myself. I agree with you on the high Q issue, but their efficiency specs are not that bad. Also, I agree with you on the T/S parameters. But, like you said without listening in room you will never know. I was actually thinking about using these drivers either in wall, IB so as to get the lowest Q possible, or in a dipole transmission line setup. Like I said I have ordered 3 pairs for evaluation. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the Lorelei when you get them.
