Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
@kota1 Maybe you can help me here about a question from the amazing sound system in the YouTube video. Wave guide high frequency, in my day was popular until they realized that near field deflection is another word for phase problems, how can such...

@kota1 oh man that is a fun room. I would give a lot to hear it. Interesting to hear music played at a low volume in a room like that I have a feeling it would poor,  firehouse filling a tea cup kinda story. Impossible to mix for a room like that....

Dolby Atmos and active speakers are the future. The AES should set up a foundation to start from as far as speaker setup and acoustic response to keep mixing consistent. 12 speakers are hundreds of times more complicated than stereo. The AES shoul...

@thespeakerdude You did educate me previously, and it is brilliant saying "as an audiophile thing it doesn't have to make sense". I know microphones and when there is poor off axis coloration the on axis doesn't sound as good because you are liste...

@thespeakerdude on a side note can you please explain or send me to an article explaining why WMTMW drivers on speakers work at all concerning phasing? Especially the midrange drivers being 1 foot apart is seems to be silly. I'm sure it's somethin...

@thespeakerdude integrating the subs, that's a good idea, it would be very easy. I'll let you know. Also your advise about the headphones is spot on, exactly right.  @kingharold Sorry it's been a while since I have listened to horns with respect ... 
Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
@kenjit Totally understand what you are saying and I agree but I never said the Genelecs didn't sound right. My Genelecs are much more accurate than my Paradigm 9hs and JL subs but the Genelecs don't sound better. These are two different questions...

Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
@thespeakerdude Only 1 sub, it is also made by Genelec it was designed to go with their new speakers. This sub is also not like my audiophile subs it doesn't shake the house (I have a big house 12k square feet) it has a much different personality ... 
Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
@thespeakerdude I did do some room acoustic programs with both systems, I moved my Lyngdorf 60.2 to be used with the pro system so I could use "Room Perfect", I had to use a program called DADman to allow me to monitor Atmos through the Lyngdorf w... 
Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
@kenjit Does make some good points and so does @fair and of course @lonemountain is a real acoustic engineer, great conversation. I have a unique view on this question because I have a professional mixing studio in the same room as my audiophile...

@thespeakerdude dude, you are full of broken bubbles tonight, oh well. Lol

@thespeakerdude I'm amazed I've never told anyone about that idea but Bruno did it, so neat. There are problems with interference tube designs, there are spurs in the rear polar patterns that are very hard to tame. Also off axis coloration is wors... 
Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
@thespeakerdude Wow, I listened to Bruno’s talk about the Kii, He is making a speaker just like a microphone, I’ve had this idea for 30 years. The way directional microphones work is there is vents along 2 opposite side and when the sound comes in...

@kota1 ​​@thespeakerdude  Thank you guys for your notes I know you are both correct acoustically about my speaker placement. I very much appreciate your thoughts even though I sorta already knew the answer.  I don't understand the antagonistic pe...
