It appears to have the same mid drivers and tweeter, and it's rated down to 90 Hz. Wouldn't that take care of the "similar sound characteristics as the Reference Three" issue? Then, one would just have to blend the crossover properly to fill in the rest of the bass sounds....

I just copied this out of Srajan's 6 Moons review of the Ref.III's: "Also, the CDT used in the Dué is not the same. Its dispersion and low-frequency extension are far more limited. Ditto for its 3-inch midrange drivers - although the head module of the Reference III does look like a slightly larger Dué, it is mechanically, structurally, electrically and sonically a very different animal altogether." Hmmm...looks like we will have to bug Mr. Gallo about this issue, as Mr. c-bugbee suggests.
