The system is designed to reproduce realistic timbre, dynamics and detail, as well as a stong sense of presence in a medium sized room. The design goals focus on achieving both a sense of intimacy and scale, and it's doing a great job of supplying both.
Thanks GG, I know what you mean about the Utopias...great treble but somehow lacking in excitement. If I ever get a chance to hear the Fab, I'll take it.
Very interesting: from Total Victories to Fab Model 1s. do you really mean that about the 'electrostatic purity and presence?' this is often said but very rarely (actually, never, in my personal experience) realized with dynamic speakers.
Do you ever feel that you are missing anything in the bottom octave? Some subs might make an interesting addition.
