AFULly vibrant, clean and precise PROS: Great bass response Coherent sync of drivers Lively and vibrant sound Awfully clean and precise Prominent mids Detail monster Speed Easy to drive but loves more power CONS: Mids being forward has a tendency to hotness. Trumpets in particular Sound stage could have been wider INTRODUCTION: AFUL is another new player in the audio community. Well at least for me. It is the first time I’ve heard of them. In the writing of this review, Performer5 has been receiving a lot of love. For the sake of simplification, I will call it P5. AFUL has a lot of patents and frankly, I am no sound engineer and the explanation of these techs left me clueless. I am more of a sound guy, a gigging musician, and we will focus on that. Sound good? I hope so. LOL This is a touring unit and 4-5 more reviews are behind me and they will probably justify the job of explaining the technicalities that AFUL has put in P5. Moving on… DISCLA...
