Nope, not buying or anything. Just curious. A friend has these German speakers and was looking for more info on them. I haven't heard them yet but here is what was found posted somewhere by another owner.

Actually, if I had a question to ask here it would be, "What does "Flankensteilheiten (Steepness?)" represent?
