Hope they measured during development.

Well if that's the crossover on the bottom, I'd say they're in the development phase.

22 hours? That seems like a long time compared to what I thought I understood from Amir and Erin.

1) that's a BIG speaker. Lots of points are needed.
2) if they are doing high resolution, the sweep time is 1-2 seconds
3) I imagine they are using averaging (multiple sweeps for each point) and that takes even longer

For reference, it takes about 7 hours for me to run an 1800 point measurement on the DIYSG HTM-12 I just tested, using 4 averages and sweep resolution for 1/20-th octave.

A small bookshelf speaker now takes me about 3.5 hours. 800 points. The averaging is what takes additional time. But it avoids the null-bounce you get at LF when the SNR is low. I started doing this a month ago.

does it matter though when a robot is doing it? :p
I was mostly thinking of Erin and Amir who are not making a business from their Klippel work. But you are exactly right -- why not take ~1 day? Particularly on a $750k speaker!

I run mine overnight while I'm sleeping. :)
I imagine your neighbors wonder what the heck is going on at your house in the middle of the night.

Would love to see the measurements that generated, but I imagine we never will :(. They don't even list +/- on their 18-50kHz measurement. Figured it would go lower than 18Hz with that size, but I suppose that's plenty for most use cases.

I actually like the look of the speaker, and I'd bet it does sound amazing(not $700,000 amazing, though).

Kinda like the same way Rolls Royce never list the hp of their engines. Ultimately brands like Wil;son and Magico are meant to appeal to monied individuals who really don't know a lot about audio but who want to be made to feel they are using their wealth to buy the "very best."
