Does that even, flat frequency response graph really mean better sound?
Yes. Flat response is the very definition of sonic accuracy in a loudspeaker. It is physically impossible for a loudspeaker with a poor frequency response to reproduce the signal it is fed properly, it must, by the laws of physics- color the sound. The ideal sounding speaker would have a graph that was a straight line from 20-20,000HZ (the range of human hearing). Ours is the closest we’ve seen anywhere, and we feel the HR-1s frequency response represents the very best that today’s technology can produce.
