Yes. I have compared it with MLSSA's impedance measurements. I also compensate for the test lead impedance and calibrate it every time I use it.

AXPONA and really liked the presentation. The bass foundation was robust and I was impressed with the coaxial ribbon midrange and tweeter. Imaging in the smaller room was very good but the star of the show was vocal transparency and distinctiveness. Whether attributed to the driver technology, uncanny lack of cabinet resonance coloration or a combination of both, I was captivated.

I appreciate that you provided well detailed descriptions of your listening room, loudspeaker placement, toe-in, propagation distance, etc., which is useful context. Not all loudspeaker reviews provide this, but should.
