Happy Christmas, Mark.
Stereophile is not one of the web site I'm used to. Not my language and a lot of blabla. So, when I was at "Associated equipment", I gave-it up.

Distortion level is not that important
Thank you Hans, but I couldn't afford it
Like most hi end amp designers, we can't afford what we design. We either go without, or the company 'may' give us one of our own designs. I suspect it is the same with automobile designers.
John you have had the wrong business manager over the years. 😕One of my best friends is in a similar situation of having made millions for other people. Still he has no regrets over his EE because he values the knowledge.
It's so true, but sometimes, when it's not too big a company and if we are involved in the development up to the final product, there is a way of, let's say, keep one of the prototype, that is not so far from the final product, aside ;-)
We should include this clause in our contracts.
So, you tell me, when a painter sells a painting, he doesn't keep it ! But writers always have some copies of their books.

No, it rolls off starting at 40Hz... which is the driver/box response rolling off.
For the music I listen to, it is fine.
40 Hz is lowest fundemental on 4-5 string bass guitar.
Typically, there is little played below 40Hz.
Thanks for your expert opinion. But, no thanks. Maybe for a video surround sound system for the Effects channel.
As for 'water-fall' displays , time, reverb data etal. This isnt the forum for that. So, that is all you get here about my system.

That's unfortunate, just when it's starting to get more interesting. Of all the other things discussed on this thread, room acoustics would be far more related to the thread title than engine oil or goop.
Classic characteristic ML. The rolled off HF response since day one. A good idea.
And just enough distortion to have a characteristic 'wide and deep" sound field on everything played thru it. to me... more blurred. But a lot of people like it over highly accurate.
The moderate distortion is at only 8 ohm load so things are a lot worse into many speaker loads of less than 8 ohms.
Suspect is the power amp section and not the front-end sections.
IMO.

I'm not really complaining, I have just about everything audio that I want. However, I have made some very expensive phono stages for Constellation. Of course, I could build one for myself with the remaining Constellation prototype boards, but I am happy with my Vendetta in my CTC preamp. The biggest difference between the Vendetta and the Constellation is balanced input vs unbalanced input. Unbalanced is quieter (for self noise) and simpler. I prefer it. However the Constellation phono stages cost between $30,000 and $85,000, too much for my budget.

Surely you are aware of the Room Acoustics forum here on DIYAudio.
I am not sure what the question is about? can you be more specific, please? Compared what to what?

This got me a phone call from Walt Jung who asked if I would like to work on a paper with him (Audio Picking Capacitors).

The fit and finish on the ML stuff is superb - you can bet that’s where most of the build cost is (as with most small run audio products).
Getting the same level of performance (specifically noise etc) in an integrated as in separates is very hard. You’ve got small signal co-located with power stages, a big fat transformer, high current charging pulses etc.

Just wait a couple of months and you will have even "more music brought into the life" 😉. Never ending progress and improvements 😉.
Comparison of measured acoustic output of amp that has "just enough distortion to have a characteristic 'wide and deep' sound field on everything played thru it" to another amp that "measured highly accurate" wrt. voltage output.
Reason I am interested is because your 0R22 resistor on speaker return that reduce woofer distortion would have an effect on measured distortion wrt. voltage output as well.
