[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 85057, member: 30"] Re: Equipment rumor mill THEN THERE IS THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!! Since red cars are "faster"-the red stripes are able to "speed up the sound". And when the speed of sound is faster-our job becomes MUCH easier. We don't have the interference issues from different signal arrivals anymore. WOW-that really is a 'game changer". Does that also mean that since the sound is traveling faster-that the reverb in the room is less and reflections will not be as much of any issue-since they will arrive at the ear sooner and "mesh" with the original signal-like early reflections? Most of the problems loudspeaker design suffer from are all time related to the speed of sound and multiple arrivals at the ear from spaced devices. So figuring out how to "tame that" truly WOULD be a game changer-in every sense of the word. I know how to do it-but the problem is that people (as we currently are constructed) would not be able to exist in the same room as the loudspeakers-and in fact the loudspeakers would not be able to survive in the same room-but it DOES solve (or greatly reduces the problem)-once we get the room temp up to 10,000° or so. There-you have the solution-it is YOUR job to figure out how to do it. HA Does it seem strange to me that the latest "crop" of speakers don't have ANY specs? I guess you are just supposed to "believe" and it will somehow "happen". How do you compare to anything else? Maybe the Wizard of OZ was correct-Don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain------------------------------ If you can't measure it to get a spec-how do you measure it to get predictable performance? How does that get entered into the prediction programs? Or do we not need prediction any more-since all we have to do is to "tell it what to do" and it does it. What if the operator doesn't tell it the right thing? What if the loudspeaker has a mind of its own and does what IT wants-not what the operator tells it to do? Is it 2001? Trivia question-Where did the name HAL (the computer) come from in the movie 2001? [/QUOTE]
