DDonal,

That's an interesting question, that can only be answered by actually hearing what happens to the midrange and top end when the distortion of the speaker is dramatically reduced using H-PAS. Today we uploaded the final printed version of the Sound and Vision Review that is being mailed out this week. Please read it carefully in that the reviewer evaluated it as an entire speaker. The overall rating was 9.7 out of 10.(There is also a very technical explanation as to how this works).
My comments are meaningless until you actually hear what this speaker is capable of. For the record, Snell was going to license this technology until they got shut down. If they return some day they will certainly employ this technology.
