Since one of my main goals was to try out a couple Morel items that I have never used before, I will start with some thoughts on the individual driver performance. Based on its use in this system, I would say that the MDT-39 is one of the best values in high-end tweeters. It offers an extremely clean and smooth sound, is magnetically shielded, can handle low crossover points, and has a very good build quality. At $45.00, once you get around the mounting issues, there shouldn't be any reason not to use this tweeter.

The H6.1 is certainly no slouch as far as woofers go, but at a more costly $90.00, I don't think it is quite the bargain of the MDT-39. One positive trait of this driver is that it does not suffer from any large breakup peaks, allowing it to be used without any complicated and costly notch filters in the crossover. Perhaps its best feature is its high sensitivity; I measured it at just under 90 dB through most of its region, compared to 85-87 dB for most other 6-1/2" drivers. The extra sensitivity gives it a very dynamic presence, and would allow this driver to be used with low-power amplifiers.

Overall, I am very pleased with the performance of this speaker system. Thanks to its relatively high sensitivity, about 88 dB with 1 watt, it gives a good sense of a bigsounding speaker in a small package. The bass is somewhat limited on low-end extension, only playing solidly down to the mid-50 Hz region, but this fills in very well if used near a wall or in a smallish room. Imaging capabilities are very good, and this speaker produces a very live, dynamic sound. All in all, this speaker has a very different sound than last months Jubilees, being more aggressive and lively, and with a noticeably higher sensitivity. If you like British monitor-style speakers that are dynamic and engaging, these are the speakers for you.
