    Hi Sean, Long ago and far away in 1997, the ex-owner of ML responded to similar measurements in a magazine review by asserting that ideal measurement distance for a 48" electrostatic element is necessarily different than for a point source. That response may be found here. Does this make...

    Hell, maybe we shouldn't be listening to CD or dipoles at all. Maybe we should be listening to multi-poles, otherwise described as "improved Bose 901's". http://home.provide.net/~djcarlst/SLReport10.05.pdf and background: http://home.provide.net/~djcarlst/20101118.htm

    It should be noted that Harman's investigations have shown that trained listeners do not yield different results vs. untrained, but do yield results more quickly i.e. with fewer trials. Given the small # of trials you're (perforce) conducting, Jeff, it can't hurt.

    Dirac Live

    Officially, it's a 25% discount, but the poster @ AVS just replied that he received an offer @ 30% off = €455. How or if others can get that last 5% I don't know. The site says "The software is provided as a digital download" and it shows as a download in the cart. I have no plans to...
