The waveguide on the tweeter makes all the difference. I thought a waveguide would be difficult to implement, but not any more. Low cost too. I should throw away all my flat baffle tweeters. They are all obsolete.
I wonder how much the low bass response is limited by the electronics, because a big electrolytic coupling cap is - well - big, and there isn't much room in there.
This was a problem with the usual "Walkman" that I used to see. Single supply rail battery power mandates an output coupling cap...
YouTube lawyer Steve Lehto has advice for the RV lady; "DON'T BUY AN RV", because of the shady practices in that industry, see link below.
It would be a shame if a lawyer's advice to the HiFi industry was; "DON'T BUY SPEAKERS".

I worked for a company that made a line-level isolated audio distribution box for studios, which used transformers. The transformers were fairly large and heavy toroids, and there was an additional feedback winding. The feedback winding was used to include the transformer within the linearising...
Balanced-armature transducers were used in the first telephone handsets, but moving-coil transducers have better performance. To hear YouTube reviewers talk about balanced-armatures in IEMs, you would think they were a great new innovation.
Audiophiles are obsessed with differences, especially regarding which is the best. I have two different systems in two different rooms, and I am struck by how similar they sound
What is the mystery surrounding electrostatic energisers? High voltage power supplies and high voltage amplifiers aren't that mysterious in themselves. Has anyone built their own?
If your network is used for streaming audio, is another's phone's wifi reception similarly compromised? Does it make a difference that the system is separate from your network?
We have a music collection precisely because our memory for sound is so poor. Otherwise, we would only need to hear a track once, and that would be it.
