Fact is if your speakers didn't cost at least two grand, they are the weakest link in the system. They cheat on the frequency response measurements because when you put in 30 Hz they count the 60 Hz output. That is distortion, oh, the distortion is the other idiocy. You strive to get amps that only have 0.0000000000000001% distortion while your speakers run about 1% distortion even at one watt. Ridiculous, they sold you a bill of goods. Buncha **** really.

It's good to know that there is only one kind if distortion, and that
it isn't additive. It's a good thing that you don't design electronics.
