Why perfect speakers dont exist the truth revealed

Dear Audiophile music lovers,

The reason that perfect speakers do not exist will hereby be revealed. So a perfect speaker would be a wall made of concrete. It would have two or perhaps three small holes in it. The drivers would then be placed inside these holes. Linkwitz riley 24db octaves and you're done.

Now the problem is, most audiophiles do not have a spare wall in their home which could be used to construct such a perfect speaker. Keep in mind that the other side of the wall would have to be infinitely big. It would have to be a very big space which would contain an infinite amount of fibreglass.

Now lets compare that to what speaker companies are selling us. We are being sold cheap nasty mdf boxes which ring like a bell. They use a minuscule amount of polyester stuffing inside which doesnt work and they call it a day. 

That is the secret to why perfect sound cannot be achieved. Its because we are being lied to. A $100k Magico makes no sense when you realize that the same money could be used to build something approximating the perfect speaker. 

The magico speaker still only uses a cabinet that is a few inches thick at best. My speaker invention would be ten times thicker at a fraction of the cost!

Wake up and smell the coffee folks. That is the reason we are all in this predicament. We are all craving perfect sound. Some of us are even in denial about that. But perfect sound can NOT be bought. The only solution is a CUSTOM tuned by hand system.

How would anyone know if they are the perfect speakers if they have not been built?  All the science is not proven right?  How would they sound?  So unless there is something that we can hear, then this is all science and guess work.  In building components, it takes us many prototypes to get to the final product and even then we are constantly making adjustments to improve the sound and the design.  We are never satisfied.  Plus there is never one correct way that will please everyone.  So while I have heard the Linkwitz speakers that were built by a friend of mine and they sounded excellent but they also had things that some did not like. Audiophiles will pick apart anything.  So while in theory something will be the best to you, it never is to everybody.

Happy Listening.

Folks here need keep in mind,,, many modern jazz cds are over programed with computers and EQ's,,,take Diana Krall, all her cds are over EQed, computerized,, Diana Kralls  cds do not sound  natural..that goes for many post 2000 recordings.,. back in the day , (1960/70's) recordings had much greater  authenticity and high quality,,So what I am saying,,why even worry about  a  hypothetical speaker than can voice exactly like the studio live recording, 
AS I listen to only classical muisc,,I do not have this issue of  *fake recordings~~ there are no EQ modulations such as are super heavy in Diana Krall. DK's  cds have a  ~~fake ambience~~ in the sound recording. Sure Sophie Milman also is faked,,but at least not to the Nth fake degree as are DK's over mod recordings.

Progress already! We've cut it down from infinitely large to an appropriate size. Which, sadly, cannot contain that infinitude of fiberglass. Oh, well. Today the pit, tomorrow the wrinkle.

Well, this is the theory that Kenjit has, and what it is to....I suppose.
