KODA^2 MK-II is finished and I made new readings compared to the old KODA^2:
 

 
Personally I just think they sound amazing - it's fantastic too se how much progress can me made with a decent testing rig.
I turned out even better than I hoped.
 
A little picture - they look more or less the same, but with a small jack.

Looking good! That frequency response graph looks very promising and has me wanting to hear these more than ever.
 
Do you think the MK II is just as "fun" sounding as the MK I? That's what drew me to the original KODA^2 so much, the description of their sound as being so fun.

Seems like sound signature is preserved even when the frequency response is made more linear. The sound is as vibrant and smooth as ever. The soundstage and detail is there too. So it's all good

You seem to have incorporated a decent amount of smoothing in your newer curves.....

I have applied 1/3 octave smoothing. It's the standard setting in HOLM impulse.
 
Here is the raw response:

Thx

Great improvements!  Looks like these are really coming along nicely.

That graph fully restored my interest in these. How soon until we get some impressions on the new design?

That looks fantastic. I wonder if the dip @ 3 KHz could be improved upon with loose damping, have you played with this?

Any chance you'll be detailing your changes?

Already did that. Bass port tuning and tuning of the dampening felt bass port.

I will try that on monday

Oh, I see (and I was the one that asked last time). Just wanted to see if you had done anything new since then.

What a tuning, little modifications changed so much on the frequency plot... it closed a full gap.

Wow, look like their coming along very well, and they look absolutely sexy
