so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled.
It depends upon the type of bass trap. Some work best in corners others not. Look up the type of absorber and educate yourself. Don’t listen to Dennis. He is a BS artist and not trustworthy. You can check what’s best threads or simply Google his h... 
Absorption behind components and speakers rationale?
Below 200 hz or so sound waves become more modal eventually becoming omnidirectional. Speakers are usually closest to the front wall so that there is typically a lot of low frequency energy pooling in the front of the room. Thick absorption on the... 
Guess who has new speakers in their lab?

Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
Vendors would give anything to have women more involved. They are not only allowed they are coveted. How many discussions have there been on this very subject? Rather than be amazed why don’t you figure out how to get women more interested in the ...

Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
I do not generally think that cost necessarily parallels performance in high end audio. I was recently at an old friends house listening to vinyl on a $1500 rig and it sounded great. There is a very real phenomena of luxury pricing designed to mak... 
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
I don’t know the answer to your general question about price evaluation. I can say some things on the specifics of the Orion. You reference hyperbole in the review and I can understand why if you’ve never heard the Orion. That happens all the time... 
Rockport Orion
Ok i listened for 71/2 hours to the Orions in the same room that had the XVX’s and now also has the Alexia V. The Orions are the most lifelike speaker I have ever heard in my 63 years. That includes the XVX. I was very skeptical that a 3 driver 3 ... 
Rockport Orion
I used Wilson Benesch Chimeras for a decade before purchasing Rockport Cygnus from The Sound Environment. Ironically the Chimeras which are awesome I found to have overly damped bass. Rockports have a much richer sound. I still have a pair of Chim...
