I don't understand what these companies do all day if they're not designing good products.

Disregarding the lower 2/3rds of the frequency response, why does everything 2kHz+ look so nice though? Even nicer than SR009 CSDs at a first glance. Shave off a bit of the top off the broad hump at 4kHz and I'd call it a very neutral upper midrange/treble that is extremely clean.

I think we can see some ringing developing at 3/6/12khz that would be more evident if we dropped the floor more.  Still the distortion is so audible it's just beyond comprehension including a spike at 5-6khz.

How did Shure manage to do that? The lower end distortion alone is unsettling...

Engineering requires tradeoffs. Usually fixing one thing on a dynamic driver screws up something else. I can confirm that I could not hear any ringing. But the frequency response and distortion is unacceptable.

CSDs look very clean on these, even better than ESP950, but the FR does look fucked up.

Look at Tyll's square waves on the 1440. I'm not sure I've seen uglier.
