The picture for this one trips me out because it looks like the guy from Lord Of The Rings. What's this about anyway? [insert rant emoji against Netflix's too-short and then further, cut off shorter descriptions] Seems like I might enjoy it.

OK...but is there any highpass filtering inside? Or are the mains just left struggling to put out the low bass?

Really? I wasn't aware of that. I haven't noticed that, though when running etc I generally run them in the "transparency" mode. Hmmm, the headphones sometimes switch mode themselves, maybe they switch into transparency without using knowing? A puzzlement. - I think you are correct, Denon needs...

Wait, that means the woofer and mid have a sensitivity of like 65 dB?!? That makes no sense. - What horn and driver is this? (Manufacturer/model number?) - Looks like a power response falloff: is it a constant directivity horn? Which then should show a dropoff like that. - But I can't imagine...

- It shouldn't be necessary to turn the sub up 12 dB. I'd rerun that, and if the same result comes, post for help in Forums and/or contact Onkyo or Dirac. Try running a sweep tone, if the low bass is way louder than the mid-bass then yeah 0 is too loud. - No there's not so much super low...

All we had was an older technology, called "look out the window" :laugh:

That's such a cute phrase! Where it will be fed only pure sine wave wall voltage with no RF noise, and only "good" music will be played through it at moderate levels for all eternity. :laugh:

I like the concept of the R3, i.e. a separate woofer. The Achilles' Hell of KEF Uni-Q is modulation of the tweeter response due to the moving horn (i.e. the woofer cone) in front of it. How tremendous a problem that is I've never seen measured, but like Thiel once upon a time, cutting the low...

Wait, improvement in the decay time by EQ, check. How can the EQ improve the decay rate? I feel like I missed that part. I'd think the decay rate would be fixed by the physical parameters of the speaker and the room. I have hazy vision in my head that a resonance can be deconvolved but that...

...who were related to the ones who said, after serious scientific modeling, that bumblebees cannot fly...

Very novel idea, really cool. But "25 watts"? Color me skeptical. Class D does enable some small stuff, but I haven't seen anything near that compact that could deliver a total of 100 watts continuous. This is probably still fine for the intended application, it's just unfortunate the...

acinfinity fans! OR those mega orange things from Home Depot. Couldn't you glue aluminum heatsink onto each ceramic? Or would that give some slight inductance? Ugh, makes my head feel twisted thinking about it

That's pretty big, so big subwooferage is called for, depending how far away you're sitting (I can't open the pdf on this machine). - Your current speakers: if you crank things way way loud, are they fine or do they distort? If they distort, you need a highpass filter to cut out the low bass...

$25k oughtta get you a LIFETIME membership! And really I don't see what you get for this crazy upcharge-doesn't seem like the drivers are really upgraded. Special edition for enthusiasts I guess? The teak is cool so if ya go the $$$ you can have a unique set.

Nope. Thanks to the reviewer for posting the picture with that spec? Is there ANY USB-stick headphone amp with more output, though?
