Speaker building, characteristics and terminology class.

[GTHill]

I am a high tech instructor and I travel the world teaching specific technologies. Anytime I want to learn a new technology I just take a specific class.

Has anyone ever thought about giving a speaker building, characteristics and terminology class? I would pay at least $2k for a week long class. I know that there are a lot of books and online resources, but it is much easier and much more efficient to learn it in a structured environment.

Would anyone else be interested in attending a class like this?

Anyone interested in teaching one?

I think it could be very profitable for them and very informative to everyone else.

Structured environment....... a key description is given of his expectation. I certainly do not have a structured 'study course' to provide. In fact, the main thing I can do is relay the credible perceptual research to him in regards to how it affects(how to read) measured parameters, and how to correlate such things.

Within a short amount of time, I can design a structure. Even though I do not understand the technology, I can, through interview with experts, build an outline that will provide a flow that could take someone from novice (me) to a person that has a foundation for self-education and experimentation.

I know it has been mentioned that a big part of DIY is the learning process, but trial and error and making fundamental errors is almost a deterrent for many. I'm fine with making mistakes, but "stupid" errors that could have been avoided are frustrating.

I know that it may not appeal to you (Chris) but a weekend course for say, $350 could appeal to a decent sized audience and even two days would be a significant amount of time for knowledge transfer.

If we could find regional experts we could design a two day course and then deliver it locally.

I'm excited!

This thread got by me, as I have been busy of late, as we are moving town homes from Grand Forks to Minneapolis at the end of next week. We also had damaging storms at Benedict last week. One of the many problems was that my neighbors boat got blown off lift lift and sank. I had to dismantle and salvage the motor. I got him back fishing on Sunday. He caught a good catch of Walleye on Sunday, and we have a nice shore lunch fish fry on Monday.

My eldest son alerted me to this thread this morning!

Anyhow this is something that would be quite a challenge, as it is a bigger subject than it seems at first glance. It involves speaker measurements specification, enclosure types and design. How to select drivers for best matching in a design. Cabinet construction, tools and techniques are also an issue. The there is the huge conundrum of filter and total crossover design.

But if this is something that would be welcomed, then I suppose it is something I would think about, though not as a money maker, but for the good of the order.

Also Chris and I have a few significant differences of view, the most important of which is about omni polar speakers. I'm not sold on the approach at all, especially, for intimate music, like German Lieder, and other small and solo instrumental music. However difference of opinion is certainly not of itself a detriment.
