"a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio"
I dont see any scanspeak woofers thereAt least what you said is not science fiction :-)I used "ScanSpeak" as a matter of comparison, that is a decent ScanSpeak woofer is already 370 bucks.  For example, there are five drivers in that speaker above... 
A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour
Buying a pair of 20.7i for demoing purposes is a major investment for a dealer, and to not do so indicates to me a lack of faith in the product. I am sure there may be a way for a dealer and a manufacturer to work together so that the dealer w... 
Best N.A. Audio Manufacturers to Work For?
I think the problem most high-end audio companies have is in the "customer relation", or to be more specific, it's the connection between the "technology" and the final "end user experience".  No matter how fancy the technology, it only matters if... 
Pass Labs and Fuses
Way back I was very skeptical of power cables.  I have not tried fuses myself.  I suppose the reason of improvement by fuses more or less the same along the line of power cables.  The first time I've ever heard of "fuses", was when reading an arti... 
New reviewing home for 2020 Stereo Times
First please do not take my post as a criticism.  It's just some of my observations in general and not being specific to anyone.I wish that reviews, in general, and not just in audio reviews, that the reviewers are a bit technical.  I'll use car r... 
Considering the option of "DSP speakers"
https://vanatoo.com/shop/speakers/transparent-one-encore/ Does it come with a glass of wine :-)It's hard to imagine how they could manufacture something like that for only $500.  Probably done in China with people making about $300 dollar for t... 
Thiel Owners
they close forever on 12/21 It seems like I've made lots of mistakes using that word "forever".

Remember when dealers knew more about hi-fi than you did? Are you saying it's not true anymore? 
How Science Got Sound Wrong
I guess when people cannot form coherent arguments against a concept that does not coincide with their world-view, they have to attack the underlying basis of how that concept was derived. Sort of weird here, as it appears to be an attempt to use ... 
How Science Got Sound Wrong
I think you are not wrong...I apologize and wish you a good paint drying...My best to you.... I wish I was wrong sometimes ... unfortunately the God won't let me.  I've got to be right and suffer through life and face death in the face occasion... 
A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour
Not all audiophiles are comfortable in online forums or on social media. That's an interesting observation.  I would think by now every human would be comfortable with being "on-line".   Sure there might be exception but I expect it would be v... 
How Science Got Sound Wrong
We all know the fate of any thread when people actually argue about what is "science".  As they always say, ... yeah good luck with that.  I think I'll go watch my paint drying.   
Thiel Owners
By the way, has anyone had a chance to listen to the "B&O" MS150? https://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=868 It is a time-coherent design, or at least that is the claim made by B&O. I think B&O uses the term "Uni Phase" design, ... 
Thiel Owners
After been doing a bit research into "DSP option", it just happens that I may have found a mis-understanding, or may have been a false claim, with respect to time-coherent design.  I certain did make that myself in this thread.  Apparently, I myse... 
Considering the option of "DSP speakers"
One of the main motivation is that one can implement any forms of filtering - your imagination is the limit.  And of course, if you want to implement "time coherent design", using passive filter may be very difficult, but with "DSP", it's much eas...
