| Custom Tuning Conspiracy - You are creating problems & situations, then trying to solve them when just about nobody cares and just the existence of them is questionable. You continually try to ram this crap down our throats when it should be abundantly clear, to you,... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy What am I missing? It already exists…. You can order speaker kits to your exact specs and put it together…. A speaker kit is just a speaker that has already been designed though. So it suffers from the exact same problems as ready made speakers. | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy Your example is no different than demanding auto companies design every car to each individuals size, driving style, taste in body style, number of cylinders, HP, A car is more complicated than a speaker. It has much more parts. With a speaker,... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy @dill Dylan, you do realize that the alternative to my theory would be to listen to a speaker that was designed according to the designers ears in their room and their preferences dont you? Thats no different than going to a restaurant to eat fo... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy There must be well over 300 brands and styles of speakers, not even counting brands that are no longer in business. If someone can’t be satisfied with such a wide range of products, then I feel sorry for them. Most audiophiles are not satisfi... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy - Are these "tuners" from your imaginary company? Yes, hypothetically speaking. | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy @mceljo The customers would receive a visit from our tuners. They would bring along a spherical cabinet or traditional rectangular boxes. A selection of drivers would be provided. Then the tuning process would begin. First a hearing test would b... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy @gs5556 Obviously it wont be as proftable to do custom tuning as mass produced junk. So that just confirms the conspiracy doesnt it? A consumer would not need to know their theil small parameters from their response curves. That would be part o... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy then the financial viability of customized speakers will become more viable as a market segment Actually the financial viability is an excuse. High end speakers can already cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. So there is plenty o... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy The idea of custom speakers is a good one, I must agree with you there. but one at this juncture is likely to remain a small niche. Yes but I thought the audiophile community is already quite a small niche isnt it? Over time as fully aut... | |
| Custom Tuning Conspiracy @erik_squires Is this the episode where Kenjit substantiates his claims with specific and actionable examples? Is this the one where he shows us what and how he got around the very problem he is railing about? Or is that next season? I pers... | |
| Review ATC SCM20PSL monitors 50 hours listening The measurements are there to prove whether a claim is correct. ATC sells their wares based on reputability. They rely on rave reviews from so called industry professionals whose opinions are no better than the average person. There are no measure... | |
| Review ATC SCM20PSL monitors 50 hours listening One of things with ATC that has always been a goal of Billy Woodman (founder) and the engineering department: realism via low distortion. It is interesting you say that. I could not see any distortion measurements shown on the ATC website. Aud... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? However, the author argues that real wood speaker cabinets can be very useful for producing the tone of wooden musical instruments if tuned properly. The problem with that is every song you play through them will have a wooden tone. The speaker... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? However the grill or box colour, the material and the shape of the speaker are more things that I would suspect an interior decorator, or Feng Shui master, would care about. They do not, by definition, affect the sound. Of course perception pla... |
