[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 123428, member: 126"] Re: Listening Get Together That was you? Thanks for the 411 but i was designing hifi gear in the 70s-80s. I know all the salesman tricks and more than a little about psycho-acoustics. You are a better man than I... Time to throw away all the anechoic chambers and SMART test gear. I get surprised often. Just not by posts here. I've seen boxes made from carbon fiber,,, light weight and rigid, but that is just one of several variables. Indeed with the judgement that comes from experience we can make make sweeping assumptions about gross generalities when the physics is straightforward. I once had a difference of opinion with my boss about a budget molded plastic speaker approach. he was swallowing the competitor's marketing kool-aid hook, line, and sinker, while i argued about the laws of physics yadda yadda. Since i never was much of a yes man, I wouldn't yield without a test and it came down to a shoot-out between my way and the bosses way. We had transducer engineering build up a prototype each way... After several seconds of loud swearing, my boss conceded that my way was better... But that one was easy... no speaker vortexes involved. :-) JR [/QUOTE]
