who hears remembers Julian Hersch,  aka Mr. "if it measures the same it sounds the same" from the 70's?

Tom Thiel:  I like what Vandersteen has done with a powered subwoofer in the enclosure. I suspect that Jim may have gravitated in that direction, having spent considerable effort developing the SmartSub. PS Audio is working on some new speakers...

Prof: Your 3.7s had to be used, weren’t they? Hence if break in occurred, I presume it would already have happened long ago. It’s my suspicion that it was acclimation on your part, vs the speaker. I would have thought so too but i found out fro...

more comments from my friend trying the Goertz. Do you know when you hear a match up that is just right? That is what the Goertz / Thiel combo is. I am really surprised they such a good match. You need to try them. They need about 20 hours to...
