| I can prove your room is bad @erik_squires : "Oh, no, not me. :) That’s why I stated in the OP that the difference is in fact the combination of the room and speaker dispersion." Thanks for replying; we’re on the same page there. What I’m getting at is, in my opinion, sometim... | |
| I can prove your room is bad Erik wrote: "The difference between what you hear sitting in front of the speaker like this, and what you hear at your normal location is all in the speaker dispersion and room acoustics." I can go along with that. So if the speaker’s off-axis r... | |
| In Defense of Audiophiles, Bose, Pass, Toole and Science In my opinion, one of the concepts Amar Bose got right was this: The spectral content and amount of energy in the reverberant field matters. His measurements of typical ratios of direct to reflected sound in a concert hall led to the Bose 901, w... | |
| Upgrading Kef R100 crossovers @b_limo , I agree with you, and definitely respect Kenjit for the restraint he shows as far as not "replying in kind". Duke | |

| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? Kenjit if you really want to keep this going, go start another thread. Maybe I will respond to your questions there. But I am through derailing this one, and apologize to bob540 for having done so. Duke | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? I’ve requested that my post just above this one be removed; decided that I’d rather not perpetuate the squabble. Edit: Thank you geoffkait for letting me know in your post just below that "delete" was still in effect after "edit" had timed out. ... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? " How dare you expect a person with a disability to simply change? Disability is not a choice. " Behavior IS a choice. That’s why people are held accountable for it, unless they are insane. " The onus is on you to accommodate [narcissists] ." Your... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? " Can we now go back to discussing the topic of speakers? Promise, no more insults? " Are you actually offering to change YOUR behavior, or only asking me to change mine? Please answer this question because it is important. However in this case a ... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? If anyone other than Kenjit is actually curious about the questions he raises, any of them, let me know and I will be more than happy to reply. I do not take offense at the questions themselves; I have simply stopped jumping through Kenjit’s hoops... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? Avsjerry did not say that "we are all narcissists according to that list". But it sounds to me like you defacto acknowledge that you are: Instead of coming up with a single item which did not apply to you, you attacked the medical community. And o... | |
| Ported versus sealed speakers: is one type better? @erik_squires put it very well and very succinctly: "The thing that makes a bigger difference is matching the room." Lacking Erik’s gift of succinctability, here’s my take, from the perspective of a designer: In my opinion where the speaker is lik... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? Kenjit: " hi glupson, Interesting how you ignored my questions. " I presume this is what you mean? " Dukes technique has been to try to discredit everything i say by accusing me of narcissism all the while ignoring the topic being discussed. Whats... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? Above, Kenjit is trying to bait me into defending my speaker. To anyone wondering why I don’t take up the challenge, let me point out that what Kenjit is doing is a classic behavior of a narcissist: Baiting people into defending themselves in an u... | |
| If Audiophiles care about sound, then why so few threads on acoustics " Since time and effort is a commodity that many don’t have enough of, as several have pointed out, there is a need for some expert advice. The problem becomes that most expert advice is tied to sales of a particular solution. And there isn’t r... |
