The answer to my question about Duelund is "Yes"...

Kick ass.

The pile of parts below is not done by someone who just plugs in T/S parameters into a computer program and says "Done".

The alligator clips are from when he was swapping values in / out... measuring... but I also suspect he had the network external and would swap values while doing the final measurement... Listening. And he makes reference to exactly that in the video.

The complete experience CANNOT be assigned a measurement value... one has to listen... and big credit to Oliver that he does.

I bet these DO sound pretty remarkable.

I've watched this sort of thing being done in real time... it happened to be with my Merlin VSM 2-ways with Dynaudio Esotar and Scan-Speak 8545.

Designers that really know what they are doing can look at the response like reading The Matrix... and know the direction to try. They also look at impedance, because it's got to interact with an amp - it's a system!

For my speakers, the final "swap" was a small resistor value change on the tweeter - the final tweak done by ear.

I can't afford them and I'm super happy with the path I'm headed down... but I'd love to hear a pair someday - in a good room.

In fact, I would MUCH prefer to hear these over the New Big Boys from Utah. People think the fancy "saw tooth" felt around the Wilson tweeters is good. Hey, it looks cool - right? Well, in fact, it's edge diffraction... and I have the measurements from my own Wilsons that prove it.

Oliver is doing it right and if they sound like I bet they do, I hope you sell a pile of them to whoever backs up a dump truck full of money.
