Re: Clarisys Minuets undergoing first stage of measurement, testing and tuning
Yes, so would I. I know Florian, so my thought is he'd be open to considering it.
By way of some background, I did a DOE when I integrated my REL sub to my 2-channel "mains" some years ago. Used... -

Re: Clarisys Minuets undergoing first stage of measurement, testing and tuning
