Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

Check out the "Kota Curve" , I received a compliment recently from a professional acoustics engineer with many years in the business on the UNCORRECTED curve, even before DSP he said it was very good and it showed I paid attention to details:

You are still very new to the hobby. If you like this type of research check out ASR, you will find many adherents there. 

There are very few on the ASR forums, in my experience, that are highly experienced in acoustics and psychoacoustics. I have noticed the odd person posting of some experience. It is a very small and specialized field.

100% true, however they LOVE to wrap themselves in psychobabble and consider themselves experts (in their own mind at least).

Maybe @donavabdear could help them out, at least he would find a like minded audience.

BTW, you know who has a GREAT chapter in their book on the topic? Both Earl Geddes and Tomlinson Holman.

I think both you guys should get the THX guy’s book, even if it is familiar territory. Check out chapter two in this one. Read chapter five, ten, and twelve too, even though its a different topic:

Before being flippant with people's names like John Storyk, you may want to do a little research to understand who he is. He is not just another "studio" designer, he is probably "the" studio designer. There are not that many known designers, Suffolk, Manzella, Berger, Pilchner/Schoustal, but many would say Storyk sits on top.

It is not a matter of whose curve it is, it is a matter of psychoacoustic properties and conditioning mixed with physical properties of the room and speakers. You could have the same speakers, with the same room curve, but a much different sound dependent on the room acoustics.

This is where you are getting into the weeds, if you want a "Storyk Curve", build one, NP. Where is the link to the Storyk paper published in a peer reviewed journal citing his research?

There are probably few books on speakers and acoustics I have not read over the last 20 years and I would not be surprised if not over 500 papers. Much of audio, acoustics, and speakers is not about right answers but right directions.
