Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
Very interesting fact for me.... I already knows that many type of speakers existed for a long time, but these articles express it clearly... Thanks... Fort sure there is innovations about all aspects of speakers design each year it is simple to...

Acoustic did not is reducible to psycho-acoustic science... Psycho-acoustic science dit not reduce itself to acoustic... Great posts thanks.... Gear fetichist tasting group and measuring tool fetichists perhaps will understand something.... We... 
Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much?
Thanks it feel better to be understood than being alone with common place fact and acoustic science... Pointing to this truth dont negate the scaling differences between gear design... i only claim that we must learn acoustic BEFORE throwing mon... 
Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much?
The photos in my virtual pages dated back in the months before my systematic listening experiments in acoustic few years ago... My actual dedicated room is my music room and laboratory... Not a living room...And way more "silly" than in these pa... 
Tweaks, money pit or real value?
Thanks very much fleschler your posts are always interesting i must say... just a precision about that : The hallographs are necessary not as a diffuser but as a focusing device-the Legacy Focus speakers tend to be narrow in soundstage and imag...

Acoustic/psycho-acoustic is a single heart with 4 irreducible chambers:   Objective aspect of measurements... Subjective aspects of measurements... Objective perceptive evaluation ( collective consensus) Subjective perceptive evaluation...  ... 
Tweaks, money pit or real value?
I do not say they are equal in results... I only suggest that a room acoustic and devices dont need to be costly... I know this why? Because when i listen my 500 bucks system in my dedicated room i am sure that your system is superior to mine..... 
I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls....
😁😊 There is no problem and i loved my system/room like it is now... No upgrade is NECESSARY... Even if a ZOTL amplifier will be better than my Sansui amplifier for example... My mechanical equalization is satisfying like it is now... Then no p...

Great post teo_audio thanks... Your post illustrate why i do what i do... My Helmholtz "mechanical equalizer" with one hundred adjusted tubes resonators and diffusers tuned by my ears, use my ears not a microphone, and not some testing frequency...

My Helmholtz "mechanical equalizer" with one hundred adjusted tubes resonators and diffusers tuned by my ears, use my ears not a microphone, and not some testing frequency but a large bandwidth spectral set which is called an instrument timbre or ... 
Does carpet deaden the sound too much?
ONLY balance between absorption, reflection and diffusion matter.... Only this balance... Mechanical control of vibration with springs if possible will matter yes... One thing is sure: i cannot understand room coustic at distance but only by lis... 
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
I am unable to evaluate speakers by reading some measures and i dont think what is published in the official specs is anyway all that matter... Many great speakers were made in the past 50 years...I owned Tannoy dual concentric gold speakers and ... 
Jazz for aficionados
I will go for Dave Pike .... Cheerful thanks !  
Tweaks, money pit or real value?
Very great choices it seems to me...Thanks for youre interesting post...     I will only add  for those who dont have money to do that like me, that it is possible for someone without money to do the same thing, or nearly approximate it, inspir... 
I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls....
Do receivers really count as high end audio? Certainly not less "high end" that an alleged high end amplifier in a non treated and uncontrolled room for me... Acoustic trump any design of a singular piece of gear in S.Q. improvement /price tag...
