Do Physicists Or Musicians Design Better Speakers?

Based on what Zu has accomplished, the nod goes to physics dropouts who get juiced by music.

I don't have a degree in physics or math. What I can say is that as a former musican(not pro) I listen to speakers that reproduce instruments as I know them to sound. As a matter of fact my small experience playing and listening has guided me to make spkr buying decisions that possibly a non-musician would have not made. BTW Branford Marsalis uses a tuntable in his rig. Enjoy the music : )

Well South, which is the spaeker that does reproduce?
Names please?.....

Off topic , one thing I can't stand is "this is the best speaker we have heard"
refering to sales pitch from dealers and owners trying to dump their speaker here on the used maket at the gon.
Look at a few of the JM labs Utopia ads.
I had the opportunity to hear the utopia's at the new orleans audio club meeting at a shop in metairie.
My experience: a wall of sound, better a blast of noise.
The experience took me back to 1974 to the big box era.
Seems like all things return in cycles.
Even crap speakers, but now 4X's the price.

I apologize to those trying to dump the LM's

Paul,

When you can at a minimum solder together your own crossover like my 11 year old nephew does on the subs and speakers we build, then maybe you can criticize other speaker designs. Right now your secondhand knowledge is off topic and wrong. The fact you run those speakers with a 1950's tone control amplifier and don't know it shows how profound the obstacles are for you to reach an informed station in this hobby. It is clear that you BELIEVE what you've been told, its time for you to pursue knowledge. Why don't you email me some measurements of your speakers so I can make sure you've assembled the kit correctly. :)

All you did was save a little money and put some screws in a wood box and you have found Nirvana....I wish I could be so easily amused.

Paul,
From the past statements you have made it looks like you have created a little friction from some of the A-goners. I applaud your convictions but you should respect other opinions even if you don't agree. That said I will keep my choice of spkrs that I find do justice to the music to myself. I wish I lived in your area just for the live music (jazz in particular) is always to be heard--the perfect reference. Peace,
Bret
