Acoustics can be complicated but not necessarily complex. A complexity theory approach would involve more than just acoustics.
Is ASR for real, or is it only for those sub $1k or even sub $2K?
I did some browsing on the forum and it seems like most don't own very expensive gears. Most of them own mostly sub 1K or 2K gears.
I recently ask about feedback on the Polk R700 but after about a month with no responds. I did a search "ASR Polk R700", with all but one poster which actually owned a pair. Most of them would point you to some measurement and some theoretical discussion but non actually own a pair.
I also looked at a few posts on budget speakers such as the Kef Q7 or Polk R600, but I didn't see any actual owners responding.
I don't mean to knock on them but ASR seems like a lot of hype but very little substance.
You are right because you think about some applied acoustics for room or great Hall ... When i spoke about acoustics what interested me is hearing theory not just applied material acoustic but psycho-acoustics theory and application for speech,sound and music.. This is complex because multi-disciplinary and a mystery till today ...

@mahgister I think we’re on the same page here. My argument is that there is a complex interaction between music, gear and listener in an environment. Measurement of a single component may be helpful in that it specifies a necessary condition for success. However, it is very far from a sufficient condition that can reliably predict outcomes for the whole complex system. |
The badges should state Audio Science Scientist, preferably abbreviated as ASS. If i can the see the ASS badge from 12 feet away, that would be a good thing at the shows. @mapman wrote
