manner of hidden issues – units sold as premium often exhibit audio behavior that is anything but, especially in the low frequency region or in measured total harmonic

distort low frequencies to the point where a low B on a bass guitar barely resembles the input, but the PCH X1 and X2 remain flat from far lower than that (10Hz) to well above what dogs can hear
