@grannyring Great post! Thanks for that. This is exactly what I was trying to describe in my review but I didn't have the technical knowledge to explain. Using EQ always seems to be such a dirty word. I've never EQ'd a speaker but I tried adding a bit down low on Audirvana with these. It just added very audible distortion. I think it has to do with the interface between the MacBook Pro factory EQ and the Audirvana app. Something isn't right there. I'm going to keep digging.
For me these speakers are everything I could want except for the fact that they are lacking on the low frequencies on certain music. (And the size lol) But I know they have tons of potential because on certain recordings, the lows are so powerful, rich and satisfying but in a non bloated way. My biggest pet peeve with any system is trying to find recordings/albums to match the speakers vs just hitting play and having most everything sound great. In saying this, the DI's play the best recordings better than anything I've had or heard.
And just to remind everyone, yes I do still have some set up tweaks to perform to do the DI's more justice. And for the price, these speakers are absolutely amazing.
