$2300 USD.... Buy a Macbook Air, Logic Pro and a Mini Lab 3 and have hundreds left over. All while enjoying an infinitely more powerful stack. Maybe I'm a bit cynical, but Teenage Engineering has had a series of very low quality, fault-prone gimmick devices that quickly end up forgotten in drawers. Hard to take this seriously.

You're not the target market. You're not cool.

from the guys who brought you a $1000USD bluetooth speaker, the $240 leather sack, and the always popular $50 tshirt comes, "we dont understand how western inflation works in the context of consumer confidence as it applies to discretionary spending as a function of income"

  To be fair, I find the audio from my OD-11 considerably superior to my A9. Not as good as my Ferguson Hill Jetstream however.

    Good to know about OD-11. I like the OB-4 though it's not good value for the sound alone. Are you running OD-11 in multi channel mode? And are you flexing a $130k+ system?

      x2 in stereo via optical, but a single 11 knocks an A4 out of the water, they're not kidding when they say carlsson sound, it is just that - OB-4 sounds fine but fell over and broke the dumb spinny volume knob thing 3rd day, back to TE and huge wait... never mind they're literally NOT FIXING KO-2s right now, refunds only, fuckin' TE.

TX-6 is not a very low quality gimmick

Yeah but then you have a laptop not a toy. Whole point of this is it's more fun and satisfying than using Logic. It's a lot less about the sound it makes than you think.

Classic 2024 company. Started out with a few genuinely cool products and a quirky, fun attitude. Got popular, decided to exploit that good will and now everything they do seems greedy and inauthentic (regardless of whether any specific product is or not). Maybe this is a great product? But after the OP Field pricing shenanigans and OP-Z quality issues... hard to give them a second chance.
