Escalante Fremont II

Still, it is not the later version.

I had the original, never could get them to sing and then had to just about give them away at about 1/4 of their retail price!

From what I remember the only difference is a tweak of the crossover and some reinforcement of the cabinet.

Reinforcement of a 600 pound cabinet! (ea speaker weighed this!) This cabinet was so inert I doubt this would have made a difference but that's just my opinion. I've not heard that anyone had great success with the Fremonts would like to hear from those that did.

The crossover is the heart of a loudspeaker. I rather buy a speaker with a great cabinet, smart crossover and good drivers, than super expensive drivers with un-smart crossover design and a mediocre cabinet.
However, it seems the Fremonts got bad reputation after Sterophiles review (measurements was less than ok i remember). Sadly, i have never heard them. A bit curious i must admit that i am.
I wonder what happened to Escalante as a company!?
