| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I’m not arguing this at all. I’m just saying that, by definition, it’s quasi. :) The results may be better than anechoic, but the measurements are considered quasi. We are estimating an anechoic response even though the measurements themselves we... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews "Is the amp class A or A/B, how many watts in class a? It is well proven that components that have measured bad sound very good and vice versa. This goes for this guys measurements and stereophiles. Your ears are the best instruments to use when... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews "I suppose I do not get the point of this thread. Once a speaker is placed and set up in a typical listening room, all bets are off, no matter what measurements were used in the design of them." Above transition frequencies of a few hundred hertz... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Don't get me started on ASR... Just as one example of their flawed way of evaluating gear: They reviewed one GR Research's budget stand mount speakers, but all they did was measure it and listen to one speaker. Oh you mean this "giant" disaster... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews For one ASR imo has no credibility ,there are tons of youngsters that know -0 about real time experiences ,and the way they measure. I suspect the feeling is mutual. BTW, I am older than many of you . While I appreciate being called "youngster,... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews The problem I have with ASR and its followers is the routine contempt heaped on anyone with a different POV from ASR gospel. We are not a church and don't have gospel. We follow establish audio science and engineering. And rely on what we can ... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews 1. How does a given measurement translate into something I might be able to hear (or perceive), and what words would I use for the subjective experience? At the risk of stating the obvious, frequency response variations of a speaker are pretty au... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I just don’t see the value in a site that constantly throws shade on high end gear. IMHO I have no such position on high-end gear. My speakers alone cost $25,000 a pair. Give me the performance and you can charge whatever you want. Give me poor p... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I think that ASR has chosen an extreme stance not for any particular reason except to incite an even greater amount of tribalism in this hobby. Nope. The "stance" I have taken is follow proper science and engineering. This uses to be the norm i... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews But I agree regarding the culture over at ASR and Amir. He came into the Roon forum to debate Michal Jurewicz from Mytek. Some of the other members became involved and Amir was quite arrogant and condescending. Far more people appreciated my po... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews The ASR crowd was probably never much of a market for his speakers, and as we can see here, lots of people are not very impressed with the way ASR does reviews. That is a misstatement. Tekton advertises the M-Lore has having very linear (flat) r... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews b - Baffle step - As popularized and researched by the late, great Jeff Bagby, the effects of the baffle on the output need to be included in any whole speaker/room simulation, which of course also means the speaker should have this built in when ... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews One ASR review spends an amazing amount of time and effort analyzing the ~$800 US Tekton M-Lore. That price compares very favorably with a full Seas A26 kit from Madisound, around $1,700. I mean, not sure these inexpensive speakers deserve quite t... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I’ve briefly taken a look at some online reviews for budget Tekton speakers from ASR and Youtube. Both are based on Klippel quasi-anechoic measurements to achieve "in-room" simulations. Your intro is incorrect. Klippel Near-field scanner produces... | |
