It really is a cool speaker... we'll see how it stacks up.

This might be a very interesting upgrade video.

Sorry if this was too obvious, but these are headed to Danny and crew?

Danny needed a box to put the Sony upgrade parts in so he could ship it to me, so I sent him a crate...

The Duette has arrived safely, and we just finished testing it.
We'll have some very interesting measurements soon.

The on axis response: It looks like they did not compensate for the baffle step loss at all. So there is quite a swing from 300Hz to 600Hz.

The horizontal off axis:

The vertical off axis:

Changing the supplied tweeter resistors:

Raw drivers versus the on axis measured response:

The impedance curve showed a little internal resonance near the port tuning:

The spectral decay was pretty clean:

That’s ridiculous

I think we now see why the speaker sounds so 'hot'.

That's so bad it makes me wonder if some part of the crossover got knocked loose during shipping.

I’ve seen how Wilson crossovers are made. They encase them in resin so I doubt that.

Check the measurements that Jim posted on page two that were taken by the NRC. They match mine really well.
