Your referencing old photos of some of my first devices is not an argument about acoustic...
No speakers at any cost will beat by his upgrading power acoustic control,
And no electronical toy " costly tweaks" or electronic equalizer.......
What i will describe here is INVISIBLE in these photos and are devices and bottles designed like Helmoltz resonators and diffusers which are not in these old images from many years ago...
Ted Denney is a seller not an audiophile...He does not want to use argument just to close the mouth of someone with another perspective...
Here are these 6 aspects of acoustic control parameters in a room i experimented with :
1 -Balance between absorbing surfaces,
2 -Reflecting one,
3 -Diffusive one....
This was "classical" passive material treatment of a room, now these 3 new other factors are related to my concept of the mechanical active control of a room ( what i called a mechanical equalizer):
4-control over reverberation time and timing of the wavefronts
5- control over the distribution of the pressure zones
6- fine layering and tuning of the laminar flow
These 3 last aspects could be controlled with Helmhotz mechanical method NOT by electronical equalization...
Then the piano will not sound the same from the same pair of speakers in a non controlled room and in a controlled one...Not even close...
Dont upgrade good speakers with costly one BEFORE studying and experimenting with acoustic...
My acoustic devices and experiments were all homemade and cost me nothing...Yes Ted Denney here you can laugh at my straws and cardboaord empty roll paper and plumbers discarded tubes etc... I will laugh with you but not for the same reason... Do you catch?
I can then claim that great hi-Fi experience is possible at low cost contrary to what is claimed or supposed almost everywhere by almost everyone...
People dont know acoustic and never seriously try experimenting with it in a dedicated small room.
Dont buy costly toy, if you can keep a dedicated room... All the rest cost nothing save basic acoustic knowledge...
I am not making an argument so much as exposing someone of questionable knowledge and execution where audio is concerned.
Then to answer your innuendo, my room is not the workshop of a seller who must sell finished shining product, it is an homemade laboratory...
And for the "questionnable knowledge" there is more information explicit and implicit in this single post of mine here about acoustic that in all your posts here in this thread...
Referencing to my virtual pages for another time will not change acoustic nor the content of my arguments... It will only reveal what elementary rethoric call "ad hominem " attack...
Like you said "Inference to conclusion will take place in the minds of those reading" your posts and mine.....
All people are not idiots fooled by appearance... Happily....
You sell costly devices, good or bad one, i sell creativity....
Ok i will mute myself...
My best to you and to all....
