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 ...

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.

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, ...

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... 
Why no “Break in” period?
If you switch to M and P, it makes all the difference. Instead of divergence, there’ll be convergence. And there’ll be solution to the equations. HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIMENow Albert’s coming back. Make yourself a bit smart. We have lingered in th...

Considering the option of "DSP speakers"
An interesting excerpt from an interesting article regarding to "room correction:An example will show this point more clearly. Consider a loudspeaker standing in a room. Mr A measures impulse responses in a certain listening volume and finds to hi... 
Considering the option of "DSP speakers"
Colonel Kurtz "You don't like my methods?"Captain Willard "I don't see any method."Since we're on the topic of "DSP", with regards to some of the methods, it seems like some of them try to correct the entire frequency spectrum, which maybe a lit... 
Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs?
Talking about "DSP" engineering an cost ... as a saying goes "A good engineer can do for a penny for what a mediocre engineer can for a dollar."  But I don't do cliche.  Nobody has ever said that an "evil engineer will take the dollar and maybe ev... 
Why no “Break in” period?
“In the South Seas there is a cargo cult of people. During the war they saw airplanes land with lots of good materials, and they want the same thing to happen now. So they've arranged to imitate things like runways, to put fires along the sides ...
