| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Some bumps are good and others not so much. With DSP, you get to add bumps where needed and where you want them to be, not where they just happened to be when the product shipped. I find with most speakers I tend to like a bump from ~4-6khz. Tha... | |
| Ohm Speakers Status Update Glad to see that update! For anyone interested, Ohm has a place in Facebook that gets a lot of activity from devotedĀ owners.Ā Check it out! | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Iāll go out on a limb and assert that in the end, proper application of measurements always helps to achieve oneās hifi sound goals faster, more effectively and for less. The trick is to be able to understand and apply the numbers properly and I ... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Fwiw I have kef ls50 meta ( + Klipsch sw308 powered sub), Ohm Walsh and Sonus Faber Concerto Domus each in different rooms. I use Roon DSP to tweak the sound of each in their corresponding rooms. The KEFs are known for their good technical measure... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Seems to me the correlation between high end and cost is much higher than the correlation between high end and measured sound quality. Ā | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Probably not myself personally, but If someone likes the sound of an expensive speaker it does not matter that it does not measure well or technically may be poorly designed or implemented. The off base measurements will probably be an indicator o... | |

| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Yes acoustics are obviously important but this thread is not about acoustics.Ā For the record here are the things one has control over that I think matter most for good sound.Ā 1. Good quality well engineered gear designed to work well together ... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews In general some forms of distortion are more undesirable than others. I suppose the Amygdala has something to do with that. Itās good to understand why and how we respond the way we do (each differently to some extent). So itās true there is more ... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews +1. Amir for not threatening legal action against naysayers. Ā | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Perhaps thin skin helps account for golden ears? More good vibrations? Everything matters so that must include skin thickness. Makes sense. Ā | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I find useful info on ASR all the time including just now. Task: use Roon DSP to tweak a pair of Polk Atrium 4 outdoor speakers . 1. Did not measure well on ASR 2. The review indicated a treble bump and bass rolloff at about 100 hz. Good info! ... | |

| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Music is art. Art has nothing to do with how good it measures. Art appreciation is a totally subjective thing. Ahhh! But the gear that plays the musicā¦..thatās technology. Measurements are pretty much the only way to clearly identify technology d... |
