Custom Tuning Conspiracy

@erik_squires 

Is this the episode where Kenjit substantiates his claims with specific and actionable examples? 

Is this the one where he shows us what and how he got around the very problem he is railing about? Or is that next season?

I personally got around the problem by refusing to buy any more speakers and tuning my own. But most audiophiles will not have the ingenuity I have to do the same therefore there is a need for companies to do it for them. Just because I have pointed out a conspiracy within the speaker industry does not mean I should be the one to solve it. Why dont you solve it if you think you can? Also part of the problem is the audiophiles themselves. If we cant convince them that custom tuning is the way forward, things will never change. 

Incidentally, YOU are a bad example of how custom tuning should be done. You have gone to all the trouble to make your own speaker, yet you did not even bother to custom tune your crossovers you just tuned them flat as a pancake which defeats the whole purpose. So thankyou for joining the discussion, at just the right time. You are a perfectly bad example.

I think you used the correct word, conspiracy… as in conspiracy theory. You are pondering an idea and using assumptions of intent, overly broad assumptions about the state of the world and how it works to come to an absurd conclusion.

The manufacturing industry uses enormous brain power to find profitable niches an to fill them. The design of speakers constitutes a substantial cost and the cost of production comes down the less variability in construction.

I have worked in global manufacturing for nearly forty years… in the functions of design, marketing, logistics, and manufacturing.

The idea of custom speakers is a good one, but one at this juncture is likely to remain a small niche. Over time as fully automated, computer generated flexible manufacturing evolve, then the financial viability of customized speakers will become more viable as a market segment. We are not there yet.

How many more times with the same tired speaker narrative from this guy?

They look more like a gal to me.

No offense intended to real females.

Dear God, please make it stop! 

I need a splooge towel for this one.

Nonsense.  To me, anyway.  "mass produced junk"?  

To a point, yes. More thoughts and ideas are always good, but they can’t all be doing the same thing with the same parts.
