The cone material is super thin paper, it just seemed to my ears, ina short test, to lack body, the bass just was not there, Sound too thin, Female vocals, not accurate.
I did not find 1 thing I liked about the speaker, I can also assume the AER also suffers these very same issues.
Whereas the DavidLouis 4 incher at $175 a pair, had body, some slam, female voice very clear, clean, accurate.
Goes to show you do not have to spend alot of money to get good sound.
The DL 4 inch has some stress, some distortion, but very livable, acceptable, doable.
The Vox just had nothing to offer vs the superior davidLouis 4 inch wide band. Now I will sell the Vox and buy the davidLouis 6.5 for $400, Maybe i get even better sound out the 6.5 vs the 4 incher.
My guess is the wood cones of the Vox offer better bass, maybe better voice, better dynamics.
This may be true.
I am just not willing to spend $2k++ for a speaker that does not perform much better than a DavidLouis $400 speaker.
Lets say the Vox/AER comes out 5% better sound..
OK, but at 6-10x's the price??
= Not worth it. These days its all about economics.
= Best bang for the worthless buck.
I did not like Lii wide band, has that cheap plastic!!!! phase plug. Sounds soooo chinese.
