Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues
I dont think the JBL line is any different! One speaker driver creates sound and the other reproduces. I just bought a pair of L100s and a pair of 65 Jubals with the intent to sell. JBLs do not appeal to my sonic palate. They did play loud I will ... 
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
I am not so sure I would call resistance to public health policy anti-science. I guess if you consider public health the paramount consideration of public health policy. My concern lies not so much with the science, but rather with the scientists.... 
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
If you read what Amir has said in these last posts you can clearly see the problem. Just a rehash of an age old debate within this hobby.  I love the statement: "We follow established audio science and engineering". Who, what and when?    
Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues
It would be the same speaker that is best on classical, jazz and any other form of music that you did not mention.   
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. Who knows how they really feel or what they believe? What they have done is succeeded in getting member... 
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
Wolf said he tried an fancy fuse. He didnt say which one so really no help to this discussion. Further, he has tended to dismiss some of the tweeky stuff in the past and so has a predisposition of doubt. Probably a good thing. I have no interest i... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Arent many substantiated claims in this pursuit.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I support the little guy if he makes a good product and doesnt act like a tool. Is Erin the one who is so stressed out? I thought that Eric was the victim? I am so confused about which adult male I am supposed to feel sorry for.  We are just gener... 
ribbons vs domes and sibilance
Another problem with exotic tweeters (design or materials used) is that they often dictate the type of crossovers used. Not a fan, so far, of either ribbons or AMT type tweeters. I still prefer silk domes.    
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Simple boxes are simple boxes regardless of who is designing them. Right angles, parallel surfaces, large speakers fronts, etc all involve simpler manufacturing techniques that are less expensive to make. They affect the sound and are done not bec... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Perhaps but inexpensive boxes are often problematic enclosures. In many cases more expensive boxes presuppose some additional processes to reduce resonance. There is often much more to an expensive cabinet  than what is actually visible.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Oh my goodness what a pathetic video. Dude you are not doing yourself any favors. Why you cant step back and see this is beyond me.  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
You can call it product development, but the fact remains that in order to get the most from each type of driver you must do a great deal of modification to the crossover. This is not a one size fits all scenario. I remain skeptical but then again... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Well this statement is a bit concerning. So with each driver change you also do the requisite reengineering often required? Doesnt inspire much confidence.   
What's up with the price of Vintage equipment?
It is often very difficult to judge vintage equipment because they often need work due to the age of the parts. I bought a pair of Altec Valencia 846As just to listen to and then sell. Any judgment regarding the sound of this speaker is unfair unt...
