I am excited to see the measured results, I'll say that.

Honestly not even a joke. I do this. All the time.

So I've bypassed all of this by connecting my PC direct to the TV and then using a wireless mouse and keyboard. Elegant enough for anyone to use. Edit: Logitech MX Mini and M570 at a distance of around 3m, using the Bolt connection, for anyone who's interested.

For this specific phenomena, I have many doubts. I wonder how much I am personally predisposed to equating dynamics with hornspeakers. I haven't had a chance to do side-by-side comparisons, so I am wary of my memory. In other words, I don't know if I could I identify a speaker as dynamic...

Both should admit to the other that they have spent a lot of time tweaking, a lot of time repeating received wisdom and not much time studying. Directivity characteristics on and off-axis. "Predict the sound": let's understand that loosely, as meaning will what plays match what you expect to...

I can't remember the numbers. The A thresholds are based on fairly old hearing research and have limits per harmonic. The thing to remember is that these tests use a burst signal. So thresholds will be elevated vs. a continuous sound.

Collection of listening test results for thresholds. If you read the individual papers there are notes from listeners about what 10Hz feels like, etc. As far as I understand below 15Hz you hear whooshing, rushing, things like that.

Not really. There aren't too many studies about masking thresholds below 200Hz. I'm sure practically speaking the numbers change a lot. Music is the best masker anyway. High in-room decay times help with that...

As you say, credential stuffing is the most likely attack. Good service here: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

This is the future of active loudspeakers. Live demo from 2023:

Klippel is developing a system that compensates for nonlinearities in a driver's transfer function. I don't know what to expect from it. It may not be practical outside of controlled circumstances.

Very similar to this older model. Not much improvement. https://www.soundandrecording.de/equipment/focal-trio11-be-%E2%88%92-midfield-monitor-im-test/

They copied Genelec's design, so they aren't all that bad.

I read this one as well. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/apr/25/shocking-truth-money-bands-make-on-tour-taylor-swift

This is not the case. Expenses are very high for touring. Only very successful artists are actually making money that way. Most make ends meet by gigging and doing something on the side, like, if they have musical education, then teaching. Or supplementing income by making videos. Or working...

I am immediately skeptical of a design using a low volume cabinet, what looks like an AMT tweeter and zero attention to diffraction. On the other hand, these speakers are cute and clearly inspired by 1920s and 1930s microphones.

So why not contribute then? Personally I pay more attention to ASR and EAC than any other audio media. The list is organized, interesting, not covered in ads or verbose descriptions. it is definitely accurate—but not comprehensive. Worth the effort IMO.

This post may be quoted one day in a true crime show. That kind of knowledge is very... specific.

Same in rock climbing. Look up slopers.

I'm a little worried about his estate. He sunk several million into his own studio, analogue end to end, recording on tape machines, just a few years ago. I hope the family is OK.
