Nice write-up @Instar, thanks
Do we know which woofers are used in this speaker? I would have hoped for slightly better bass performance from 2x 6” woofers. But other than that, and the very narrow vertical listening window, it looks like a quality design.
Also @Instar, how does the R3’s bass distortion performance compare to the A500, if you happen to have measured it under similar conditions (and notwithstanding that it rolls off much higher in frequency ofc)?
I don't know the details, but I heard you use a woofer unit that goes into Wilson's Audio.
R3's woofer unit is very good.
R3 plays in my room up to the early 30 Hz band (-10 db).
When the 25 hz band of R3 was boosted to Q factor : 2 by +10 db, the distortion was significantly lower than the A500.
Rather, I thought it would be better to boost the sub-low of R3 compared to the A500.
