One of the main guys at Sound United quit last summer and it was a shock to me. #concerned

You are 200% correct. Appliances have become a F*cking joke in build quality and reliability. My brand new house has a top of the line GE Profile Diswasher and the racks come out of the machine because they couldn't use real wheels as casters. Instead they had crappy plastic tabs that came off...

This has me concerned....

Sigberg Audio is a new manufacturer of high-end, high-style active speakers for home music listening. Launched in Norway at the beginning of 2020, Sigberg’s speakers are unique in that they MUST be used with a separate subwoofer. The speakers combine Scan-Speak drivers from Denmark for the...

If you're serious about this, we can ask James Larson to measure your modded speaker. I can then ask SVS to send him a stock unit to compare.

Sounds great but who will pay Matthew Poes for his time and travel expenses? This would be a win/lose scenario for me. GR Research wins by getting free publicity, I lose by spending thousands of my own money for this exercise. We don't run a 401c here. Things cost money and I chose to spend my...

So I rarely do rebuttal videos but I felt this was appropriate:

I'd like to get James Larson to do this and get a fresh sample from SVS so he can measure stock vs modded if it happens.

Danny won't submit his products for 3rd party testing. I've asked several times in the past. He actually recently did a video inviting me out to his place which I thought was nice but I'm not driving half way across the country just to get a chance to listen to his product and still not be able...

Weird you like the horribly acted and bad stories of Star Trek Discovery but dislike Boba Fett. No accounting for taste

Yes if the signal says Atmos, there is no upmixer you can apply.

Great suggestion. Can you help me write up a short summary of what that section would entail and I can look at building that forum during the weekend?

OK I posted it 3 times. Damn I did a Freudian slip with the spelling of your name I guess.

Eric; Nice video and great analysis. Oddly, I posted a response in the comments last night but I don’t see it so here it goes again: You forgot about the worse horizontal offending topology, the infamous TWWWT design. Absolutely dreadful listening experience for anyone that isn’t directly on...

No because I would stick to 80Hz for home theater application. Work on getting the best time alignment of your sub with your mains and use REW to help you guide this.

Oddly I've been to many Wilson demos at trade shows and share similar sentiments as you. I guess at the end of the day, they look cool and you need a fancy expensive speaker to go with your exotic $30k speaker wires :)

The DSU won't engage if a native Atmos signal is present so you're fine.

It's really bizarre to me that anyone would only play the 5.1 or 7.1 layer of an Atmos track just to upmix it to Auro. I prefer native immersive audio to simulated any day. If the object was to have sound come from every speaker all of the time, why not just play the 2CH track in ALL Channels...

Sure if you want to watch Woke Ghostbusters in 1080p. LOL. There is very little Auro content, NONE for streaming and AFAIK, none in native 4K.

There have been a lot of articles and studies on the subject of psychoacoustics and the relative audibility of various acoustic phenomena and artifacts. Which measurements correlate most closely to the listening experience? Is phase really audible? Can we detect low levels of harmonic distortion...
