@mahgister  "It is more easy to control the room/speakers relation than the ready made shell box and the limitations of any headphones."WWWWWWWWWHAT???The room/speaker factor is the single most difficult thing in a loudspeaker system to get correc...

Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!
