It's french however, but fairly interesting measurements. There seems to be quite a bit of distortion below 150hz.
Can you help me to read the harmonic distortion curve? Reading the text (less than 1% above 150 Hz) I interprete harmonic distortion below 150Hz goes to 4%. This would be extraordinary. Normally speakers have about 30-50% harmonic distortion at these low frequencies. What does the y-scale mean 0-10?
I'am afraid I can't help you with that. It looks like a percentage scale to me, but the reviewer and comments state that the distortion is quite significant. I'am no expert myself nor french, so only read the translated tekst.
I interpreted the translation differently reading the distortion as low.
"We can say without exaggeration that Gold Phantom is the most powerful speaker that has passed through our sound lab, with such a low distortion rate (because otherwise, you could quote the Sony GTK-XB7). Bet won for Devialet on this side so ... from 150 Hz. On this side, the distortion remains despite everything present."
If you select the link to the referenced Sony speaker, used for comparison, then you see the high distortion rate you described as normal.
