Can't really make sense of these specs. Are they identical and does that mean they do, in fact, sound the same?

Now I know! Forget the numbers, the Bravo differs from the prelude in that 1. bravo has custom crossovers made by the japanese owner himself 2. custom designed cabinet. and 3. custom cabinet tuning. all of which, according to some one i just spoke with, account for the great difference in how these two speakers sound. amen.
