Hi Nick,

You've got me thinking so I tried Alita again and at the start the sound is not especially loud or dynamic but there is obviously a frequency the DSW doesn't like. At size 30 and volume 70 it clips, at volume 68 it still does it and at 66 it can just cope. Not great at all. However I've got about 3 soundtracks where this happens for a brief moment so I think to remove the effect altogether I had to reduce the size significantly which then compromises the sound for the rest of all the soundtracks. So I decided to go for size 30 and when watching these films keep the volume at 66 while the effect occurs then increase to whatever level I am happy with. As you say Tenet and Dune are fine throughout. When the DSW clips the cone travel is very large for an instant.

A compromise which is not great for such expensive kit. I'd forgotten about the issue till your post. I might raise with my dealer. My DSW is the first edition so interesting it still occurs on the .2 version.

Best regards
Bob
