Today, Tekton probably makes more money from people who buy his speakers to measure (and prove poor response) rather than listen to

I hope he doesn't start suing people around for negative posts like yours or for listening to his speakers on the wrong axis :)

The design looks clean and all these compartments/walls give you a feel of good isolation between the boards. But from a technical (and environmental) point of view, this milled box is sad to look at: a waste of aluminum and time for CNC machining just to justify the 10K price tag...

And and significantly improve THD!

Do you know if I can stream directly from my Deezer app via "cast" button to WiiM and have the EQ active? I like the native Deezer app. In the past, I used Bluesound app, but it show me Deezer recommendations etc.

Did someone try their open back IEMs with the planar driver? I have a problem walking with the closed back - they are making the noise after every step, like when touching the hoodie or when the wire swings back and forth...

It seems like the charge pump filter in PLL is set too narrow

Can someone explain how a 0.2mm bondwire between the die and chip package can provide "a more delicate instrumental tone" in a system with tens of meters of wires?

So, do they use the Cu or Au bondwires? I can imagine that they want to match the Cu bondwires with Cu leads to minimize the passive intermodulation (PIM). But on the die side, connections are not done with Cu anyway (something like titanium–tungsten and aluminum–copper sandwiches)...

Black magic?

I couldn't find the exact damping factor of Quad 303, however many mention that it was very low. Probably, it was still better than the tube amp...

Maybe it was optimeTaking into account the impedance curve, the amplitude response of the speaker/amp lineup Maybe it was optimized to work together with the tube amplifier? Taking into account the impedance curve, the amplitude response of the speaker/amp lineup would be more linear. So the...

Ah, I don't think I like harmonics at all. Would never add them on purpose. What I feel is that the 2nd harmonic in Wavecor represents some kind of soft compression. Similar to what you have in guitar tube amp compared to the transistor push-pull. Or AlNiCo guitar speakers. The excessive energy...

Yes, I've already tested it. The purifi drivers have lower THD in general, but the 3rd harmonic is dominant at some low frequencies. My second setup 7" Wavecors have a bit higher THD but mostly because of the 2nd harmonic. So the bass feels much fattier and satisfying

The passive radiator might sound differently. I should have probably tried it, but didn't want to take a risk and added a 12" sub instead to cover the first octave 20-40Hz.
