Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@mlsstl I didn't use the words "needing permission." You did...creating a strawman argument. I wrote "didn't have permission" which is a fact and not a value judgement.    
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@botrytis I know this and even stated this. Please see my statement below. in this specific case Erin did notify Eric that he was reviewing his product, to make sure he had the correct listening axis.  
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@mlsstl in this specific case Erin did notify Eric that he was reviewing his product, to make sure he had the correct listening axis. However, he didn't have Eric's permission to review his product or publish measurements....which is the norm for ... 
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@mlsstl permission is the norm so a review done without permission was worth mentioning for contextual reasons...no other implications.    it sounds like you are trying to justify rude forum behavior. Just treat it like real life...you know the p... 
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@mlsstl I am fully aware of the dispute...and I didn't feel the need to weigh in on Eric's behavior...that drama doesn't interest me.  Both times you have called my @ handle, you are assuming things I didn't say...I believe this is called the "st... 
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
So,  what is important about the Tekton review not having Eric's prior approval?  Is he a special case? @mlsstl Yes, Eric is a special case in that it has become a pubic dispute and gives us an inside look about what normally goes on behind the... 
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
@bigkidz if you manufacturer hi-fi components...you would notice if the response of an active component was +/- 3dB. Having said that, I have never heard of a component that creates such large frequency response errors....maybe a tube amp with a v... 
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
I am happy to learn that Klippel is a much more advanced quasi-anechoic system than I thought. That’s great. Still quasi. 😀 Klippel is actually better than anechoic. For example, at the NRC the chamber is only good to around 80hz....it's just t... 
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
totally agree with you on crossover point analysis...cost tradeoffs....however, I suggest you learn more about the Klippel...you are greatly underestimating it's abilities. ;-)    
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
So if they or ASR wants to post frequency curves that's fine, neither will tell me what they measure in my room.   @sunshdw Your speakers will dominate the measurements until the room starts to take over. If you have a larger room, the room wil... 
Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph?
For what reason?  Are you going to buy because of the chart? Great question @bigkidz ....The chart is more likely to cause me to avoid a particular speaker. If for example the speaker has a rising response due to lack of baffle step compensatio... 
Solid State Low powered Amplifiers
The Schiit Aegir 2 should be released before the end of the month. It sounds like they are playing with very low feedback. The Output Impedance is .8ohm… Damping Factor of 10. It’s 25w/ channel into 8 ohms. Sounds like Jason at Schiit has creat... 
Five feet from the front wall
it's easy to over damp a room for hi-fi..we generally like the reverb of our rooms...but control rooms don't want the room involved...they of course aren't listening for enjoyment.  So this is the challenge...the panel sellers don't really unders... 
Five feet from the front wall
OMG, does no one on here actually read the OP’s question? I have long wondered the same thing; When a reviewer says they placed the speakers 2 feet from the wall, are they talking front or back of the speakers? Almost no one on here seems to actu... 
Recommend me a DAC under 3k
Take a look at the RME ADI-2 DAC FS. It excels at clarity & detail, yet isn’t overly bright or clinical. I have mine installed in my secondary system & I’m extremely happy with it. It has toslink input & is well priced at $1300. Best ...
