He pushes amps to their limit, and you can see the line heading skyward in the graph where it goes into clipping. He also specifies % of distortion allowed to measur... | |

| Own many mid-game speakers or a few end-game speakers. Errr, hype=hyperbole=exaggeration=something that, by definition, you shouldn't believe. Jus' sayin'. | |
| Poor Fritz Forget perfection.Has kenjit ever even praised any actual speaker (or anything else audio) that you can buy? | |
| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? Audio Sensibility grounding devices. Didn't hear a whit of difference.https://audiosensibility.com/blog/products-2/grounding-devices-2/ | |
