[QUOTE="Peter Morris, post: 213921, member: 652"] Hi Caleb, I would suggest the 464 is better than the standard 4594. Comparing it to the 4594HE is not so clear cut. One of the main differences is the HF to VHF crossover region; the BMS is crossed at around 6K3 with virtually no overlap in the driver’s raw response. The 464 crosses at around 3K2 and there is overlap. This also means that the power balance is different. Some people have measured the distortion to be lower on the 4594HE, in practice I’m not sure how this plays out given how the power is distributed between the HF and VHF differently and the relative importance of 2nd V’s 3rd harmonics. I have been told that the wavefront shape at the mouth of the driver is better controlled and more even with 464. The BMS goes a bit higher which is probably better for studio monitor applications but not so important for live sound applications. First impressions is the 464 has better LF performance …. Sooo for me, love both the 464 and 4594HE. [/QUOTE]
