Validation

Nothing I would like better than having staff from Stereophile Magazine come over for a listen and review the sound of speakers of a listener’s design/build on a shoestring budget that can compete with the big guys.  I know that some of these guys are in the Los Angeles/Orange County area (hint hint).

I have thick skin and a Teflon coat.

I don’t look to others for validation including with my stereo equipment.  I have adjusted my equipment with the TVs so the family is happy with the sound and ease of operation.  

I don't need it but it's fun to watch people's faces, they generally aren't ready for it and are smiling/laughing every time. Never had anyone give me a "meh" afterwards. The best responses were from my kids' friends - seems like everybody owns a little bluetooth speaker for their whole house and that's it!

The validation of acoustics concepts  occur in experiments...

 Any other validation has nothing to do with sound quality...

I  don’t need validation from anyone else.   Did I put together the system for them or me.  I try to keep my ego in check.  It’s always cost me money when it shows up
