at first I actually thought it was a joke. But then he said that Andrew Robinson was his favorite reviewer so right there you can tell this is a high level expert because we all know that Andrew Robinson is the biggest strongest smartest guy around..

he actually said that he was shocked that his speakers sounded different when he moved them around. Who knew? I think he actually said that he had been listening to speakers for years and had placed them behind his monitors to get them out of the way. And he says that he discovered his speakers sounded different  when he put them in different parts of the room and he is reporting that like he just discovered a new planet. I can’t imagine anyone would take this seriously.

Well, I suppose we can disagree. Unlike you, I can disagree with you without calling you stupid. But the man said that he has listened to the same speakers for many years and only just realized that they sound different if you move them to different positions in the room. Now, if you are impressed with that, good for you. That doesn’t tell me that he’s a bad fellow, but it does tell me that he’s not someone whose audio advice I value.  If you see it differently, I’m sure he’ll have some good advice for you and I hope you learn a lot from him. if you reach out to him, maybe he will help you position your speakers.

You have quite a habit of calling people ugly names anytime they express an opinion different from yours. Interesting approach. 

I'll stand by my original comment, I don't find anything of value in this video-I don't think I'm alone in that conclusion. If that makes me stupid so be it. I'll also say that the concept of acoustics is well known, I suspect, to those who frequent this forum, even if we don't post about it over and over. As I also said, if the OP learned something from this video, good for him, I'm sure this YouTuber has other material he might find beneficial. I was unimpressed-I thought I might be entitled to that opinion and I thought posting the video might be an invitation to comment-obviously that was an incorrect assumption. 

I'll take some responsibility for this little detour. I should have known better than to engage. As @abnerjack pointed out, in a very kind way, these interactions end up with this sort of pointless name calling with unusual frequency. Should have just ignored the post. 

@gano I got your point. This is an interesting guy. As you say, seems to know a lot about cameras. He makes lots of camera videos, a random audio video and, apparently, sells what he calls "luxury hot sauce"- its called Oliveum and is very pricey. No word on whether cheap sauce from China is just as hot.
