Couldn't understand much of it, but if the legendary Nelson Pass says, I would have to agree with him.
I've owned a pair of his venerable Threshold SA 1s and these babies can make any speakers sing.

I wonder if it's possible to easily generate some 2nd harmonic distortion using a DSP plugin. Would be an interesting experiment.

That knob to vary the phase would be an interesting thing to have, if one can set it depending on the type of music being played and mood.
