| I'm never going to hear a megaspeaker in a good room am I? I have listened to systems from $100K to $800K in different and well designed rooms. My biggest take away has been, gee they sound really good but to me it’s amazing how little you can spend and get really good, satisfying sound in a well designe... | |

| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? No disrespect meant to your theories and conclusions, it’s just that you’re correcting a mistake that no one is making, and then going into a lot of detail about ALL the things that are involved.

| Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)? "a controlled electrical field". "embedding"Lord help us all..

This is what i call an embedding...’I don’t think anyone is arguing with that in... |
