Why 83?
A weighted aggregate of four category scores. Reasoning is editorial — physics-grounded engine in development.
Same H120 + LS50 Meta pairing as Tom's living room. Power and damping are matched to the load; nearfield listening reduces the demand further.
Streaming-only via H120's network input. No vinyl path keeps the system simpler at the cost of source variety. Score reflects single-source rather than a flaw in source quality.
3.8 × 2.8 m is on the small side for ported speakers but the listening distance of 2.0 m keeps the listener inside the direct-sound field. Sub crossover handles the dominant axial modes below 70 Hz.
Nearfield treatment reduces room contribution; system tonal balance is essentially the speaker + amp signature, which is neutral. Slightly lower than Tom's room due to reduced air around the speakers.
