The Matrix Q12 uses the Celestion TF1225CX with a passive crossover, no DSP correction. The TF1225CX lacks bottom end (cut-off is ~150 Hz) and has jagged HF response. It's not flat, and so it shouldn't be your standard for measuring what's flat.I did wonder that myself, I find the top end really nice and warm but the bottom end is really bassy... and it’s the bass that needs drastically cutting...when I compare it with the Q12 the RCF is just all bottom, the Q12 is nowhere near in the bass end and goes much higher in frequency also.
Your RCF TT08-A is your best bet it sounds like. If your tone is bassy through the RCF, it's likely you're feeding it a bassy tone. And the top end through it is more accurate than what you'd get out of the Q12.
