I don't think that that comparison is applicable for these cabinets. The KF650 has a rated max SPL almost twice as loud as what these cabinets are rated for, is tri-ampable, and is significantly heavier than either of the boxes in question here.
A much better comparison to the KF650 would be the Danley SH46 or D&B C series.

I think you guys are overrating the KF650. It's still a single front-loaded 15, it's not magic or physics-defying. While the MF and HF will far outrun the LF, in a single-to-single comparison the KF650 probably won't beat out the dual-12 Fulcrum box, nor the dual-8 horn-loaded Danley box, or at least by much.
Also remember, the KF650 is rated "calculated max SPL" and both the Danley and Fulcrum are rated "this is the real maximum output we measured."
Fulcrum is letting me demo the DX boxes this weekend, and I've had a limited demo of the SM60. I've used the KF650s quite a bit.
