A controversial takes on low cost speakers with a lesson...


A controversial takes on 5 speakers comparison with an acoustic lesson few will catch:

Now i go back to serious matter with a question  :

If the timing and directionality of reflections are critical, if early lateral reflections boost ASW, while late lateral and rear reflections boost LEV, then no matter which is the price or the design of your speakers, there are acoustical parameters that makes us able to transform completely our reviewing impressions about any speakers, then what matter the most acoustics parameters controls or a slight speakers design upgrade or price upgrade ?

Knowing how to pose the question is already the answer...

This simple discovery by the youtuber of my first video, who seems to be less dumb and of better good faith than some troll post in my thread, was the matter of my thread...

 

It is evident that each one of us, as the person in my first video, one day each one of us  as beginner we discovered that speakers locations and the space we are with transform or had an impact on our evaluation of speakers workings ...

Are we dumb because we are able to speak about it and are we troll because we post about this ?

 

 This is why i used this video...

 

 

 

I did not say you were trolling. That's what I clarified exactly. If you still twist my words, that's not my problem. I never in this thread said or implied that you were trolling. 

I watched this video. All 19 minutes. 19  minutes I will never get back. I can tell you 10 + 1 reasons why it's dumb. My, my, praising Andrew Robinson. He is shallow and wrong in so many ways. (I am ignorant about 99.99% of all things and anything I would say about it would be dumb. The things is, I know it and I wouldn't make a video about things I know very little about for 1 million subscribers.)

Here is what I did just now. I watched 5 random minutes of it again. It is so dumb, I cannot even begin. But get this: I am saying this on this forum. Sure, the guy makes good points - for beginners. But the way he makes it is just dumb. Is it subjective (what is dumb)? Absolutely. It is just painful for me to watch. I am by no means an audiophile expert and that makes it even more obvious. 

Now the elephant in the room is your personal insults. Totally unnecessary. I don't know why you have the need to attack people who have a different opinion than you do. I didn't form an opinion about you but about the link you posted. 

Do I care about your personal attacks? No. I am just tired of them. It makes people avoid your posts. 

 Why the frequency responses of a speakers design is not enough to know the speakers potential peak performance ?
 
Because of the room frequency response in which it will be working...
 
 
But why the room frequency response is not enough to reach  the optimal sound quality  experience ?
 
 
Because there is psycho-acoustics parameters...
 
Because stereo listening is completely unnatural  for our hearing sense...We must use this unnatural situation for the best...
 
 
 Then What ?
 
 Then you can tune mechanically  your room in relation to your own hearing perception...
 
 I did it mechanically using Helmholtz resonators tunable and specifically located grid of resonators...I tuned them on a long period  in a self correcting way i had 100....
 
Doing so i used in a mechanical way  the psycho-acoustics principle related to the way each of our ears perceived each speakers timing and location ...
 
I learn acoustics doing it but it is not esthetical nor practical especially in a living room if you have no time ( i was retired)....
 
 
 Then the only optimal way is after buying speakers, after doing the minimal acoustics treatment and control you can read Dr. Choueiri articles and methods using psycho-acoustics in a non mechanical way but with specific filters to optimize your speakers/room for your specific hearing...
 
 
There is no other way i know of....

Imagine you yourself  start a serious  thread and few harassing posters tried to derail it...

Imagine my only post in this thread of yours is about how dumb the youtube video  which you used is, so dumb that this youtuber is certainly  trolling us... 

Then if you put yourself in my shoes  won’t you feel attacked as the OP of this thread  by me posting  as an answer that you had just post a so evidently dumb video designed probably by a troll ?

 

 

 

Go elsewhere if you are not interested by acoustics...

And dont play the surprize game ....it is called hypocrisy...

 

I just posted few days ago in a thread of yours without  any insinuation a good post answering your question , are you not able to act as a gentleman in the same way ?

 

 

I did not say you were trolling. That’s what I clarified exactly. If you still twist my words, that’s not my problem. I never in this thread said or implied that you were trolling. 

few harassing posters tried to derail it...

I gave my 19 minutes to watch that video and then I felt I had the right to say what I thought. But oh well. I didn't know the rule that you can post whatever and I need to shut up about it if I have a negative opinion about the video. 

Go elsewhere if you are not interested by acoustics...

blush yes sir
