LOL definitely not, but I am.

I admire his channel growth and production value not necessarily the actual content.

That's challenging for most and tbh, to capture a general audience, they don't really care for all the technical stuff. Just look at Andrew Robinson videos. He has the highest views and the least technical presentations. I admire his production quality and ability to grow his channel.

You gotta have Rizz Jerry. At least that's what my kids say ;)

It wouldn't be a speaker review without TLS Guy vetting the "shortcomings" compared to his DIY speakers ;)

Guys, please submit your petition to the link below rather than emailing Hong Park: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FTC-2024-0039-0001 Mr. Park contacted me that he wants to ensure the petitions get on record and this is the best way to do it. Thanks

I just sent this email to Mr. Hong Park from the FTC

I made a couple of corrections to my bulleted summary above after discussing with Dennis Murphy. I haven't yet submitted to the FTC as I'm busying working on a YT video now. But, I will be making an official request as well. thanks

I'm shocked more people aren't commenting on this article given the implications and how this can really wreck havoc in our industry. some key points I hope to drive further in case they were missed in the editorial: The original FTC Amplifier Rule of 1974 did specify full bandwidth testing...

This petition urges the FTC to reconsider its August 2024 Final Amplifier Ruling (16 CFR Part 432), which expands regulation of power output claims to ALL audio products, including powered speakers, soundbars, and subwoofers. The ruling aims to standardize comparisons for consumers but diverges...

You definitely get boundary reinforcement with a rear firing driver if it's close to a wall. Legacy Audio used to make towers with rear firing woofers and a pad switch to turn them down a bit if placed close to a surface.

Adding more drivers can allow more LF boost to extend bass response. Usually more drivers, also means a bigger box which in that case can be tuned lower. In this case, with box volume held constant, I think what you're saying is true but I also believe the rear driver is providing lots of...

Yes they are sealed. More specs here: https://aretai.com/aretai-contra-100s

The Aretai Contra 100S is a 2.5-way bookshelf design featuring a 1.75" ring radiator tweeter housed in a custom-built waveguide horn that sits on top of the speaker. Each speaker also includes a pair of 6" forward and rear facing drivers to give them more punch than their diminutive size...

Make sure you have the impedance switch set to the high (8 ohm) setting. Turn off all room correction and make sure your tone controls are bypassed or flat. My bench tests show this to be a class leading AVR and one of my reviewers is currently reviewing it and not complaining about bad sound...
