Hi guys, I am back home and wanted to demonstrate you some improvements I managed in the meantime, I smoothend the treble a bit more, which is not that easy, as on-axis and off-axis there are peaks which become dips in one or the other case, so it's actually quite tricky to deal with these just on a measurement basis, therefore I will need to do even more listening and hope to improve it even more before settling for a final version.

Thanks a lot for all the name suggestions, these were really helpful. I think the entire brand or product line should become "sEARius" as this covers 3 aspects: "serious sound" for the "ear" and the "brightest star". The speaker would be named sEARius S1 then, while a possible headphone would be named sEARius H1 etc...

This time we will listen to the sEARius S1 along the Beoplay A1 again but this time using 1 Neumann KH80 as neutral reference to get a better idea about the actual coloration of both speakers. For the 2nd half I placed the sEARius on top of the KH80 and we will compare these 2 directly to each other.

Regarding "sEARius": puns like this to me invoke associations to hairdresser salons, which are often named "Hairport", "Haarbracadabra" etc. Its not terrible, but a bit goofy. Audio gear is always emotional and should be a bit aspirational. Perhaps consider something that comes from your identity: were you live, what makes you and your life special. Perhaps the name of a nearby mountain. Apple did not call themselves CompuProc or whatever. Gaggenau did not call themselves Kitchen2000. You don't have to to use the typical "audio" / "phone" / "ear" / "sound" words that are often (lazily) used. Dare to be yourself. I know these discussions are always endless bike-sheddings, so I'll end it with that. sEARius is probably fine.

And being the brightest star, it's so hot that it'll sEAR your EARdrums 🔥 👂🏻 🥵 Have no fEAR.. I know it seems like a sEARious problem but now you don't have to worry about audiophile nEARvosa because you can't even hEAR no more. Oh dEAR...

I think it sounds really great, especially with on-axis listening. It even sounded better in some ways than the KH-80, when you compared them directly with each other.

Maybe Żyrardowski zakład dźwiękowy would work better then?

i really appreciate your commentary on the distinction of room sizes vs outdoor differencies. this is actually hugely important and part of the reason i don't buy the new xiaomi party speaker. it sounds too large for my 1-room apartment and the bass is really messy.

looking forward to order the Oluv'Sone Turbobass Maxvolume Pro Ultra

another suggestion would be to look for something personal + subliminal naming. Something like: Oluv'Sone Caliber One Oluv'Sone Apex I Oluv'Sone Truecurve 1 Oluv'Sone Expose One Oluv'Sone Unveil One

I don’t want my name on it. Joy&Oluv’Sone was a mistake
