Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
@thespeakerdude Last night I worked on my Genelec system, I changed wiring, moved some equipment around and changed some setting on DadMan which is the patch bay for ProTools, I played a DVD and was amazed I did something accidental and my Genelec...

@o_holter I love tube amps also, I don't know of speakers that are made for tube amps, the dampening factor for a solid state and a tube amp would be very different, generally tube amps don't have near the power of SS amps of course, it there were...

@thespeakerdude ​​​​@kota1 Really looking forward to the world premier of your new YouTube channel and podcast. I think it should be called "The final word in sound". You guys could argue for an hour each week, it would be perfect! Suppose we did... 
How to Setup Your Room for Atmos and Immersive Audio
@kota1 i forgot to mention fib. Numbers are cool, I’m curious how you can set them up without something like Protools, do you have something that lets you pan the signal between the speakers? How do you use the fib numbers?    
How to Setup Your Room for Atmos and Immersive Audio
So I just spen 2 hours redoing my “room perfect” DSP. I played Elton John’s “Sorry seems to be…” it sounded awful in Atmos and much bigger wider deeper in stereo. Is it possible my room sounds better without DSP I don’t even know if I can turn it ...

Here is the difference between what you guys are talking about and what I’m talking about. It is relatively easy to build a room that will give a flat room response at the mixing position tested on an expensive test microphone usually around $5k o...

@kota1  I know people don't buy on scientific specs but when you go into a boutique stereo store  there is pressure to appear that you enjoy the finer things in life and to validate your own confirmation bias which stereo stores and magazine mark... 
How to Setup Your Room for Atmos and Immersive Audio
@kota1 So I discovered something that I thought I knew but didn't know for sure. In  acoustics and photography and many other arts there is something called the rule of thirds, well I panned (actually I entered the info) to have the front speakers... 
How to Setup Your Room for Atmos and Immersive Audio
@Kota1 Say you have a speaker at 135 degrees to your right behind you and say you have a signal from 225 degrees on your left behind you. You can’t perceive a phantom center channel between them but that is how Atmos works, Atmos creates phantom c...

@kota1 Also as far as wireless I assumed you and the man on the video were talking about transmitting the main signal vie RF or bluetooth to the speaker from the wireless transmitter that is a far different story than using a code like FM Play or ...

@kota1 That is a great point, if you spent the money on acoustics rather than equipment. I think the answer is you would be surprised how good some lower priced speakers can be. Paradigm for instance has Canada pumping in lots of money because the...

@kota1 I took 6 years of of math and physics in college all pertaining to electronics and sound today I've forgotten 90% ya I'd call that confused. I love Dynaudio but I wonder about a company that can go with a wireless option and still sell such... 
How to Setup Your Room for Atmos and Immersive Audio
@kota1 Thanks, one cool thing is that I have 4x Dolby Atmos systems in my house I can play it on a few of those. And I have a 7.1 system in my car that is very good I think Mark Levenson makes it.  I don't add any EQ to my speakers in the profess... 
How to Setup Your Room for Atmos and Immersive Audio
@kota1 The more I think about it and the more I play with my panning joysticks on my ProTools S4 control mixer I'm thinking symmetrical is not the proper layout for surround channels. In my Home Theater everything is symmetrical and fairly large, ...

@kota1 My guess I've owned 75 sets of wireless transmitters and receivers and worked with 1000s. All these systems were professional and expensive usually averaging about $5k each some more some less. If it takes that much money to create a high f...
