What do you think of my 25 laws of audio


The Laws of High Quality Audio.

1. The bigger the sound system the better.
2. The more powerful the sound system the better.
3. There is no such thing as a sound system that is too big.
4. There is no such thing as a sound system that is too powerful.
5. You will always find that no matter how big you build the system it is never quite big enough.
6. You will always find that no matter how much power you have there never seems to be quite enough.
7. No matter how deep and powerful the bass sounds, it will always seem to be not quite deep enough and not quite powerful enough.
8. No matter how clear and detailed the treble sounds, you will always feel that it could be improved.
9. Achieving audio perfection is absolutely impossible no matter how much money you spend.
10. No matter how much money you spend you will always feel that the system is not quite as good as it could be.
11. If you think that your system sounds perfect then there must be something seriously wrong with it or something seriously wrong with you.
12. All your friends think that your system sounds much better than you do.
13. The longer you listen to your own system the worse it seems to sound.
14. Any dissatisfaction with a new system, no matter how slight, will always become greater as time goes on.
15. Any new pieces of equipment added to the system will always sound excellent initially but nowhere near as good when you get used to them.
16. Regularly listening to poor equipment for extended periods is good because it seems to make good equipment sound much better.
17. Regularly listening to good equipment for extended periods seems to make poor equipment sound absolutely dreadful and probably worse than it really is.
18. Any person’s opinion on the sound quality of a system is completely worthless because someone else will have a different opinion.
19. Any alterations you make to the system to improve it, no matter how extensive, will never improve it to the extent you wanted it to.
20. No matter how good your system sounds, there will always be someone else with a system that sounds better.
21. You will always detect a difference between the sound qualities of two identical systems and never know why they sound different.
22. Any attempt to match different makes of equipment together will never work out quite as you originally intended.
23. Improving any individual part of the system will always make some other part of the system seem worse than it was before.
24. If you build a big listening room you will be very pleased with the result, but when you get used to it you will convince yourself that the room needs to be bigger.
25. An infinitely huge attempt to achieve perfection would at best only produce a system that was infinitesimally close to perfection, but still not perfect.

The Tannoy's have an exponential compression HF horn that is concentrically mounted behind the bass drive cone and fires through the dust dome of the bass cone.
The HF compression diaphragm is mounted at the rear of the drive unit magnet and is spaced back from the bass cone by one half wavelength at the crossover frequency of 1 Khz.
The HF compression driver is connected out of phase to the bass cone due to it's half wavelength displacement.
All frequencies therefore leave the drive unit in phase and as a point source due to its dual concentric design.
The HF compression driver also has a phase compensating multiple throat for reduced distortion and wide dispersion.
Tannoy dual concentric speakers are used in 80% of the worlds recording studios.
The coaxial/concentric design does make them sound rather
special and lovely.
Don't take my word for it, try a pair and see what you think. I am certain you will not be disappointed.
The flagship model has the whole 15" drive unit mounted in a giant 500 litre compound horn loaded cabinet.
Sadly these are £15,000 per pair.

The USA has absolutely amazing and fantastic engineering.
Here are the examples to prove it.
Saturn five, landing on the moon, space shuttle, space station.
All absolutely amazing and superb achievements of engineering and science.
I have nothing other than total admiration for the USA.
All americans I have met in the UK have been really friendly, great fun, and generous.
I am with the Chief on this one. The ultimate listening sweet spot, I say: From inside a cannon during the 1812 Overture.

We here in the land of the Burning Bush salute you and please, let’s have God continue saving as many queens as possible. Hello?

I agree especially if you have a fairly large room. I am always trying to replicate live music and am not sure it will ever happen. To get big dynamics and big soundstage you need big electronics
