I think the fidelity of the phenolic drivers is spectacular within their limited passband.
My 2470 question was indeed about fidelity, not bandwidth. My 4345 and 4333 speakers already have bandwidth limiting of the compression drivers with crossovers, so how GOOD phenolic sounds was at the heart of my curiosity. Another consideration is that phenolic does not drift/fatigue out of spec with time. There is something to be said about materials - ferrite and phenolic - that don't change with use. (I am sure I am recklessly interchanging the terms bandwidth and passband, sorry.) I am obviously coming from the perspective that while using pro gear at home is a silly choice for some, the best bicycle is the one you are riding.
