You can search the spinorama website for the EQs here: https://www.spinorama.org/eqs.html?sort=date&reverse=false&search=W553 A speaker with good directivity and anechoic data can definitely have EQ applied based on that. But give it an AB test with your ears to see if it helps or hurts.

C86?

Did you happen to test latency? I tested three other wireless transmitters and found a huge range in latency. I see the spec is 14.

Except, I'm the one that sent it to him. It's a Pi Zero 2W. He just had the info wrong.

It was a zero 2W he tested.

I had been looking for a low-profile center channel for a while. The Kef T301c was very disappointing, though the Revel C10 looks good--it's simply deeper than I was targeting. The Paradigm Millenia LP 2 retails for $549. The speaker is solid feeling and only 1.75" deep. It has the...

Keep in mind, that is what JBL named the speaker. Also, not all “active” speakers support wireless transmission (Bluetooth/WiFi). But all wireless speakers are “active”.

@MZKM is the attached data correct to calculate a preference score, and would you be willing?

The passive version of this speaker was measured and reviewed here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/jbl-control-x-review-indoor-outdoor-speaker.24852/ I noticed JBL made a wireless version of this speaker and thought it would be interesting to measure. It is now...

Easily my favorite of the show. The bass output down to 20hz from two speakers that size was astounding.

Umm. Center frequency is 5.5k. That is what I wrote. My original post was incorrect. I couldn’t remember.

The headphones arrived today and I tested a few of the open questions. This matches what @CedarX described: Wired + Powered = DSP Active / No EQ Active Wired w/ Power = Passive headphones (duh) BT = DSP Active + EQ based on app (was flat for test) My custom EQ was +4dB, center frequency 5500...

Please don't read anything into that graph. The way it renders it is bananas. It is probably a 3db lift if that. I frankly can't remember the center frequency. I can't look it up until I have the headphones.

Different headphones, but same app: when you drag the points around you see exact dB adjustment and frequency of the point. When you make a really narrow Q it renders it funny.

The UI draws it really weird. In the edit mode it is less strange. It is a shelf about 200hz to bring down the bass a bit and I want to say the other one is up around 8k. I based it off existing measurements and some A/B testing. It is easy to turn the EQ on and off and listen to the impact...
