Reading about all the things KEF are doing to optimize their drivers made me think, how come they have mediocre distortion measurements?
But looking at the KEF LS50 meta there is nothing mediocre about it at all, if we look past the the second harmonic it has 3rd harmonic levels competetive enough with the Purifi woofers.
A look at the KEF Reference Meta shows incredible distortion performance as well (-60 on this graph is comparable to 26 dB on the previous ones, third harmonic hovers around -66, pay attention to the different colors used). It's compareable to the LS50 Metas.
And like this got me thinking, there is sufficent reasearch on harmonic distortion and masking to make a relatively accurate ''weighting'' system for harmonic distortion, Would you welcome such a thing? do you think it's a good idea to make a more relevant THD ''score''.
