What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work?

kenjit,

You started off with some good points, but what happened after the conspiracy to suppress Harry Olson's research?  

• The speaker industry has swindled thousands of audiophiles over the last few decades using the same techniques.

• We have been sold speakers that DONT WORK. They end up being resold because they are not good enough. The used market for ultra high end speakers is just as active as for low end speakers.

• Measurements are rarely published. When they are, they may be exaggerated or even false.

• The high end industry is unregulated. If i was in charge, the Kenjit standards (TM) would never be met and i would shut down most of these so called speaker companies.
• Unemployment would rise within the speaker industry

• Any claim can be made and is assumed true until proven otherwise

• Speaker designers have no clue on what the correct method or goal is of speaker design.

• Speaker designers are not required to be qualified. Its like going to a doctor or dentist who is not qualified.

• The reviewers are chosen so that MOST speaker reviews are positive. Nobody would want a negative review published. Any negative aspects of a speaker are overlooked or downplayed. Only 5 star reviews accepted!

• Speakers are tuned to the designers ears, not OURS.

• CONSPIRACY to suppress OLSONS research (1950s)

• In the year 2500, speakers are a thing of the past.
• Music transmitted wirelessly directly into brain. 1hz to 30khz possible.

• Researchers of acoustics will discover old internet archives from the year 2020.
• Kenjits ideas and papers are scrutinized by Professors of acoustics
• Kenjit infinity baffle loading technology is found to be correct
• Kenjit speaker design is manufactured and tested by engineers and found to work

•  Kenjit is declared greatest Audiophile champion of all time BAR none.  

Anyway, going by previous experienced accounts (alymere p1, darkstar p2, and ctstereo p2) it seems that the Plutos are well worth tackling for those not yet willing to attempt the more challenging Linkwitz designs, Orion's/ LX521s.

In fact they very could easily rank amongst the greatest of all loudspeaker bargains. Hopefully more of these designs will be built so more of us can get to hear them for ourselves.

@cd318

have you heard the plutos?

"We have been sold speakers that DONT WORK."

All of mine work. None ever died, except one tweeter once during the teenagers' party.

"They end up being resold because they are not good enough."

They may be resold, but the reason may not be that. People simply want to try different things from time to time. Not everyone wears same pants until they fall apart. People change them. Varietas delectat.

Actually, I prefer using ABS over PVC for my 3-ways.

I have mounted base drivers in the kitchen sinks and the tweeter in the soap dispenser.

For power, I use a Insinkerator model #78238  ($209 @ SupplyHouse.com)
