Thankfully, Harman Luxury Audio continues to be active.

looks beautiful! Are you comfortable sharing the cost? I assume it is more expensive than the vintage Paragons you can find online?
The 590 is a 2.5 way.
The 530 measures well, so maybe it’s the amp. (audio science review measurement)
They are a Greg Timbers/Jerry Moro design. I.E. Same team behind some of the most legendary JBL speakers...
The Studio 530 is the smallest option you have for rear speakers that will match the Array’s. You could use a pair of the Studio 520C’s.

Pre-Covid, there were promises of a SUMMIT series product but it may just be the DD67000 with the...
I do have a pair of 4319's. (2213Nd-1). They sound great, albeit with the Japanese-market ultra-clean but muted bass. I am also thinking about picking up a pair of 2213ND-2's for a DIY project...
Does anyone have technical Thiele-Small info for the 2213Nd-1 or and-2? These were 12” versions of the M2 woofer with differential drive. The -2 has low TCR wire.
Mods: I meant to add a question...

Dirac actually doesn’t have great bass management unless you have the upcoming bass management setup. This was ironically something that Audyssey XT32 did a better job with.
The target curve also...
Beautiful. I know it is a labor of love but when you ever decide to start a small business, send me a note :)
As a toddler, I grew up around JBL L112’s. Now, my own toddler gets to enjoy the 4319. I actually have one of the few 4319’s that were made in the USA. (2010 production).
If @gtimbers ever gets...
What I meant is that once you HAVE a hole in the front baffle, the drivers matter. For a given diameter woofer, if you have a really flimsy driver there is more flex through the whole structure...
Based upon the differences in CPU power, you necessarily will be losing resolution for the calculations, but as you say, most movies are 48kHz anyway (except perhaps concert Blu-rays).
The new...
The drivers themselves also add rigidity. If you had a flimsy 15” woofer bolted to the speaker versus a more rigid one at the interface, then the rigid one is adding more structural support. Laser...
The formal measurements were done by AudioScienceReview. Those were my 4319’s that I sent to ASR. Now that they are home, I did some in room measurements and also corrected the L-pads for the...
I have heard that moisture is a big contributor to the foam wearing out. I have the S/2600 which was shipped from Japan. That needed a refoaming before it arrived to me. They claimed it was needed...

The test is a bit flawed because the tweeter was dialed up a bit high. The 4319 is a Control...
CMMD has been a part of Harman for a while. First featured in the Prelude MTS, Intermezzo, Interlude line. There were some delamination issues in early designs. The first generation Revel's (M20...
They put this in the Synthesis line so I think the exceptional pricing will be rare. Seems to be a good performer but also seems to be somewhat similar to the Studio 530.
These are modified versions of the Japanese market Studio6 with a budget version of the M2/4367 compression driver.
