Indeed, GGNTKT (using a Celestion CD driver) claimed the same here.@hardisj Check Voice Coil magazine. All compression drivers have elevated HD2 compared to rest of the HD spectrum.
Well except that this nails flat DI from 800 to 8000hz in a way that not even Genelec or the D&D 8c do.
I don't know. In terms of controlled directivity over a big range, this may be the best we've seen so far. Also, we have to consider dynamics as part of the equation. These speakers will likely do almost 130dB with subs helping the low end.
The D&D is a sealed bass 3-way, probably less in an average-sized studio?The distortion?
That just isn't true unfortunately. The cardioid design of the 8C's midrange makes it inefficient, and it has to be driven pretty hard to reach the same SPL as it would play without the vents. Dutch&Dutch specifies a max SPL of 106dB, which is only reference at a little over a meter. This limitation is the speaker's main weakness.It only needs to output 105 dB at the listening position to reach THX reference. Which means the Dutch and Dutch 8C is fine up to 4 meters away, sure you probably need the JBL M2 at longer distances but the D&D is more than capable of reference level too. At decent distances.

More common than anywhere else in the world lolI don't think "THX reference" is any good, I think ATSC got it more right with reference level dependent on a room size.
How common are rooms larger than 20000 cubic feet in the US for a home theatre?
Yes, but looking at places like avsforum I usually don't see dedicated rooms this large.More common than anywhere else in the world lol
Have you seen our McMansions?
Very.How common are rooms larger than 20000 cubic feet in the US for a home theatre?
At least some common sense.By request from special member(s), the block has been removed.

Not really surprising giving the rather variable responses I've seen concerning the D2430k compression driver. It seems the quality control is below par for those drivers resulting in a bit of a hit-and-miss with the factory dsp-settings.The upper-midrange and treble look shelved up by some 3-5dB and there’s something very weird happening below 500Hz.
Wasn’t this supposed to be le nec plus ultra?

I don't think so.Very.
