Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

The very center of the logo is a human torso in the listening room surrounded by speakers while sound waves are also making A and Z letters within the golden ratio. I suppose everyone knows about the role of golden ratio in audio. Those who saw the human body in the logo were also correct, that is what Da Vinci saw in the golden section but there is a lot more to it and Wikipedia could be a pretty good start for those interested:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

Stop lying, you fuckin' Commie Satanist! It's a pentagram. You can't fool us dumb American capitalist imperialists.

And that ain't no "human torso" -- it's a cock and balls just like Da Vinci used. We get it: you're gay and that's cool.

Anyway, very best luck with the mod: it would be hard not to be an improvement.  :)p5

HUGE THANKS to Marvey and Hans for posting their impressions. I will post my comments a bit later, when I get my own measurements up. Spoiler: they quite literally measure three times more linear then anything else I have ever measured.

Thank you for sharing. As I've said, I really do think they are fantastic - just a different beast from the stock PM. I was blown away how open and airy they sounded. Totally unexpected. Like you magically attached a the last 10kHz octave.

As for the rest of you, assholes...  facepalm

Let's move along.

I was just talking to some ortho ninja buddies of mine about modding the PM-1 / PM-2. Would love to hear these sometime, as I really like Oppo's design and ergonomics, so a flatter FR with good bass performance would be ideal for me.

Not that I'm one of the "measurement crew." I'm one you go to for nice verbiage.

 Be honest, the whole thing is just too dirty to be funny.

   Seriously though, was about to post my own measurements with comments but instead have to spend time replying messages regarding my logo and watching my karma to go down  :)p3.
   It is very interesting though, I ran this logo by few of my relatives, friends and colleagues and everyone saw different things. Just a few examples:
   some saw a star
   some saw a chess figure
   some saw a home theater room and wandered how it's related to headphones
   some saw a headless human holding head in his arms   
  Some of you guys already posted what they saw and I figured there must be something about it then? Looks like I could outrun "Schiit" in popularity without even making any products, just have to start posting this logo everywhere? As for the golden ratio in audio I personally prefer to see this: and sincerely hope you can see it too.

At first I thought the logo was an electrical/transmission tower.
