Anyone have any experience with these speakers? Specifically their Model 2.1

Interesting little beast @ 4 ohms. THey claim an F3 below 40hz from a rather expensive 6.5" woofer. Also quite an interesting application of a wooden wave guide in front of a Fatal Pro 1" compression driver.

I thought they looked familiar, Stereophile has an Axpona 2026 report.
Ported design, 6 1/2" Purifi woofer, FaitalPRO compression driver tweeter, 2500 Hz crossover, $6000.00
Specs:

Stereophile link includes a 29 minute interview with Liam Porr of Western Acoustics (shown above), Adam Wexler of Resolution Audio Video, and Garth Powell of AudioQuest

A friend of mine once told me that I was a one upper. Sometimes I think he's right.
See it here:

Two 5.25" woofers in a transmission line that is -3db at 40Hz. 91 db sensitivity. A planar magnetic tweeter, in a waveguide, crossing at 950 Hz.

Given the aspect ratio of the boxes shown in Post #1 & 2 are both ML-TLs even if not designed as such. Response below 40 Hz is certainly doable with a 6.5”.
A small woofer has the disadvantage of not being able to move as much air.
