I was inspired by @RikudouGoku to find out how terrible my Sora Light 2019 channel matching really is, so I went and bought a Dayton IMM-6 along with some vinyl tubing, and read up about REW. My graphs are raw and I'd appreciate advice as to how to make them more comparable with other published graphs, but for the purposes of channel matching comparisons I've managed to get things to line up where they should:
My CCA CRA looks to have excellent channel matching. My Sora, however, is a trainwreck as well:
Oh brother.
Thankfully, my A4000 appears to have passed the channel matching test, otherwise I would be a truly sad guy.
Looks odd and both drivers have an issue. Have you checked that it is not a venting/ air pressure problem than just bad matching. Don't know the Sora but perhaps opening up that side will show something that is fixable.
Has Astrotec made anything ever that was unversally liked?! I remember when they came out with one of the first budget hybrids, and people hated it. Both versions. The AX60? No traction. Maybe I'm forgetting something of theirs that got popular, but I don't think so? lol

I don't think so either, haven't tried any myself. I've had enough experience to know what to look for in graphs though so that's what I go by, for my personal taste that is.
The graph doesn't correspond to the actual listening for sure, haha rule no. 1, don't trust store provided graphs!
The subbass is quite rolled off and there is a peak around the 6 - 8 kHz regions on actual listening for the Astrotec Vesna.
I have actually bought a IEC711 graphing rig and am waiting for the slow journey from China, I hope to measure the astrotec once it comes and put the graph here!

I have been listening to the new Fiio x Jade Audio JH3. My immediate impression is of a lively, dynamic sound, with an overall profile of a gentle W shape, just on the bright side of neutral, with a powerful and well-textured bass with a bit of warmth, a clear and expressive midrange and a clean, crisp and extended treble with copious detail.
There is a "light and airy" quality which is refreshing. The soundstage is extensive and imaging precise, with separation very evident. There's a good balance between musicality and technical ability. Occasionally, the JH3 flirts with harshness and the tonality can be slightly unnatural, but this is infrequent and only occurs with certain genres and at higher volume. There is a touch of bass bleed into the midrange as well, but these are minor issues. Overall this is very impressive at the price. Definitely one for the shortlist.
