acoustic system resonators


does anyone have any expierence with acoustic resonators?are they worth looking into?
thanks

Audiooracle, please provide some evidence that the resonators are absorbing RFI frequencies. If true, it should be easily quantified.

Your description of their effect on sound quality sounds very similar to what an electronic reverb processor can do.
Onhwy61, where did he say anything about RFI absorption?

Why should he provide you with evidence? Why don't you listen to some or attend a demonstration?

You are probably right that most audiophiles would not consider all of the electronic circuitry in the Lexicon PCM91, but why should this logic apply to the Resonators? Because you say they do the same thing?

I read the phrase "absorb certain emi and rfi" as Audiooracle saying something about RFI absorption.

Tbg, I suspect the resonators do exactly what Audiooracle and others describe, I'm just arguing that it doesn't contribute to greater sound reproduction accuracy. I went to the Acoustic Systems website and read their description of their product. They state that it vibrates and adds overtones. These overtones are not in the music signal. Therefore I reason that their product is adding distortion and by definition not a high fidelity product. The effect may be very pleasant sounding, but it's not accurately reproducing the music signal.

I could be wrong. Maybe it's not akin to a Lexicon reverb, but more like the Aphex Aural Exciter. Go easy on the big bottom knob!
Sorry, I had not recalled that.

I grant that explanations of how it functions cast suspicion.

Here is the test data that you request:

The fact is that resonators work and two different sets of reviewers from two different magazines both hear and swear by them.

Why don't you non believers try them and see for yourself you might be thrilled with them.

Most electronic processing is not built to the same standards as the high end components that most of us are using.
