You make no mention of the rest of your system. Are you sure that the distortion is only at source?

Bits and dB are 2 different things. Analogue does not have a bit depth.

There's a difference between gain and power delivery.

Do yourself a favour. It's called reading. There is tons of info and threads on DIYaudio regarding the MarkAudio drivers. Planet10 and plenty others have done huge amounts of research regarding many of those drivers and have come up with positive results.

You can either get them from KJF in the UK or from Madisound. Those appear to be the cheapest suppliers.

Consider looking at the Markaudio drivers. There are some quite affordable ones too.

It might be worth your while to look at some of Iancanada's boards. He seems to have built up a fair degree of expertise in that field. https://github.com/iancanada/DocumentDownload He also has extensive posts/threads on DIYaudio.

Parts connexion. See if you can still join the group buy elsewhere on the forum.

Paul McGowan is good with sales talk too! Much the same as Uncle Kevin  ;)

Very impressive board you have there. Professional and exemplary. The original OEM board is rather pricey, I see. Any idea how it would compare to the ALLO UsBridge signature?

A capacitor specced for 200V, 105 deg and 1A ripple will last much longer if run at 150V, 35 deg and 0.5A ripple than at its full spec. I'd guess that many cheapskate manufacturers will run caps at their absolute max values.

Likely to be organ speakers - with the huge ear shaped drivers behind the grills.

Bravo!!

Mr Google will help. https://www.google.co.za/search?q=field+coil+driver&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiXhbSO2ZvxAhVimFwKHVQOCMkQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1636&bih=857

Not at all. The 2 examples you mentioned superimpose their "ideals" onto existing flawed devices. There is NO single amplifying device that does not alter the sonic signature. They all do. Period. An amplifier designer has to choose his amplifying device, choose the topology - or combination...

To the contrary. They appear to be blinded by their textbooks.

By far not as simple and as easy as you make it out to be. Your equalizer is going to boost/cut certain frequencies - nothing else. There is way, way more to it. Certain designs and types of devices are going to give you various distortion structures, they are going to behave differently to...
