Loudspeaker designers could fix all of this by focusing on building more efficient easier loads and without stonewall x overs. The only prevailing scheme for making speakers easier loads are those which have chosen to support their own bass drivers with amps thus offering a hybrid solution. Fine by me..
Its gonna be interesting.

Blindjim > many thanks. Sorry. I simply forgot about that aspect of the Kodo’s build.
Regardless, they are quite the impressive loudspeaker.

Yep. I’ll use a scale and hang my hat on their sonics, then see how it all shakes out. Buy something and play it or them until they dry up, fall apart and eventually disintegrate.
One last note here….
I’ve said in all honesty each mega watt amp or amps I’ve ever heard provided very good to outstanding sonics. Each varied slightly of course, but all were easily keeper arounders for long term.
If its true the best sound is developed in the first watt, portions there of, and a bit thereafter, ala SET amps, why then do these giant amps have such an inviting enjoyable sound while having the where with all to push out 400 – 600wpc @ 8 ohms?
Sure, during any sane listenting sessions it or they are not kicking out welder like current into the speakers. Instead, supplying the same amount more modest amps would deliver to the speakers.
So is it their over built construction that is providing the more sailient voice? The fact these immense power houses are merely loafing along and under
no duress?
IMO? I’ll throw a dart at build, once more, or rather, over build.
Thanks for the insights everyone.
