March Audio Sointuva Speaker

A Purifi driven speaker with Purifi amps on board? Oh my.

DSP is probably the bigger advantage here but yes it's a very nice potential

I think there is an interesting question regarding how willing the wider "audiophile" market is to accept active dsp speakers despite their advantages.

Sorry not going to get into your obvious provocation LOL. It's erroneous for a number of reasons, but yes I do disagree with Amirs methods (as have others) regarding his subjective evaluations in a purported scientific review context.
It should be fine for adults to have differing opinions even on, maybe especially upon scientific methods.

I wont comment any further on that.

Wait, what?? Provocations? Seriously
Please stick to responding rather than accusing me of something.
So whats the issue with the methods? How come some are fine others are a problem?

between bliesma 25 and 34, why did you choose 34? For the lower Xover?

HiFiCompass has measurements:

34A:https://hificompass.com/en/speakers/measurements/bliesma/bliesma-t34a-4
25B:https://hificompass.com/en/speakers/measurements/bliesma/bliesma-t25b-6

34A has slightly higher sensitivity.

34A starts to beam at 3kHz, 25B starts to beam at 4kHz.

34A has wider dispersion at 10kHz.

34A has more controlled distortion in the 2kHz-3kHz region.

So, unless you really want wide dispersion up to the presence region, there really isn’t much reason to go with the 25mm models.

Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but I can't wait to see how you implement the active crossover. I was gonna say DEQX is in your neck of the woods but upon further inspection same country opposite ends means it's much farther than I expected. Anyway, ever play around with one of their units? Maybe a bit pricey to be a perfect match, but would be a nice pairing.

Im afraid I havent played around with a DEQX unit. There are a number of ways we could go about implementing dsp active options. Requires some thought

Did these see a review at some point? I know there was interest...

Thanks, it would be very nice to see some measurements of these at some point. As an Aussie it's pretty appealing to support a local manufacturer, and these speakers are certainly gorgeous. I do hesitate at the price buying them unheard without detailed measurements though. I don't suppose March has any stockists in Adelaide?
