“The hope of film buffs and makers alike is an experience that fully transports the audience into the world of the characters,” said Auro Technologies CEO Wilfried Van Baelen. “Having major releases from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment incorporat...

@kota1 You are the one that decided to brand your website as "science". You admittedly are neither a scientist nor have a "lab"/studio/listening room that follows well established specs (see Toole, Kota1, Abbey Road, Sony, and Dolby Institute in...

@kota1  Almost all reviews include a list of the writers reference system components, the test conditions the equipment was used in, the content played during the review, comparisons to equipment from competitors, and possibly measurements. Wh...

@kota1 The Kota and the Toole are "critically listening" in immersive audio, please enjoy listening however you like over at "dry wall studios". Dr. Toole is using upmixing for enjoyment, not for evaluating performance of any product.  For tha...

@coralkong  He's pandering to people pretending to be audiophiles who are desperate to think their inexpensive gear is "just as good" when it's obvious they simply cannot afford it.  How do you know they can't afford it?  I recently reviewed a...

@kota1  Please come check out the thread I started on an Atmos build, you NEED it. Well, looks like no one else needs it as you only have a couple of responses and that is that.  I am sure plenty of people here would throw up on the idea of up...

@jerryg123  @kota1 your should know by now, Amir is all knowing and the GOD OF AUDIO. I am not.  I am however great student of audio science, research and engineering.  This is why I am able to back everything I say with independent research. ...

@jerrybj  Well Amir, I hadn't expected your arrogance. Your assumptions are unpalatable. This is what arrogance looks like: that the entire body of audio science, research and engineering doesn't apply to the sound coming out of your audio sys...

@kota1  Isn't there a lot of flutter echo? Flutter echo?  In a room with open floor plan like mine or Dr. Toole's?  Do you even know what that is?  Clearly not.  I have never seen anyone in these argument contradict himself left and right like...

@jerrybj  I’ve only been in this audio game for 46 years, Amir. What annoys most are two things: 1. Absolutes, with no tolerance for possibilities. Things are this way, the earth is flat etc. 2. Those who emphatically believe my experience is...

@kota1  If you want to get "schooled by Toole", check out his room. Maybe you should.  Earlier you said this: "You take Revel or some other good measuring speaker, put it in a room with hard flat surfaces and you don’t need a FR chart to kno...

@oddiofyl  I listened to several DACs from $1500 to $6k and guess what? They all sounded different,  but they all sounded quite good.  You didn't "listen" to them.  You included your eye and the rest of your senses.  So yes, we do have to gues...

@jerryg123  Wow such arrogance.    
Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless
@jerrybj  Why would you even bother coming here Amir? Well, it certainly isn't for hugs and kisses from the few of you this way!  😁 I came here because someone here created a thread saying Audio Science Review is a "cult" and is not open to a...

@ghdprentice   I would not begin to consider evaluating a single new component without listening to it for a couple months. I appreciate that you think you need that much time to evaluate a component.  But you and I are not similarly situated ...
