What additional clarification does parentheses make? It's the same word and it's same meaning and there's no more ambiguity when I or Peter used the word. Speaking for myself and Peter neither one of us was attempting to mislead you or anyone else, the confusion and lack of apprehension is yours.
The point of the article is no such thing he talks specifically about RPG diffusors and purchasing acoustical and plastering over his front that anyone can do so where's the professional aspect that you mention? The only specificity I found in the article is about the RPGs themselves and something about the front wall that he was covering with them. What else?
Your interest in Toole is fine but how does your desire to discuss him relate to
@PeterA's experience and activities or detract from what he accomplished? Knowledge of emotion in humans goes back to dawn of mankind, what's your point here?
We weren't discussing Mr. Yates the article you linked is purely a subjective account. But, strictly speaking ears are also measurement instruments and very sophisticated ones that an experienced person can use and relate objective account of the sound being "Natural".
We didn't send anything down the hill Francisco, he has a shell designed with certain qualities that we left alone. We simply dealt with the way energy flow patten and absorption qualities of in the room. Moving the listening seat to a more suitable position is dealing with the energy which is already there. We took measurements with our ears which both Steve & I are fully capable of doing and used a practical approach, ie moved the chair up by 1.5-2m. Of course we could have called Mr. Yates and Mr. Toole to fly in and have the room torn apart and remade in their vision using whatever systems they recommend/sell and
hope for something better which is what you're arguing for. Have you invited Mr. Yates to your place and see what you end up with? Is setting up the system part of what they do? What happens when you make changes to the system, are going to call them in again?
I don't understand it and keep asking the same question Francisco, why are you working so hard to diminish the value of what Peter has achieved by himself? Nothing against Mr. Yates, Mr. Toole or other names that you like to drop from time but have never heard any of their products nor have you heard Peter's setup to be able to judge his approach. We are not all sheep in the professional community, we don't always agree nor do we use the same methodology. Circumstances, experience, and specially commercial interests have a direct influence on how we approach and what we offer the individual. A $1m budget and an plot of land to build a dedicated space requires one type of professional approach, a shared living space with no or little budget deserves and different one. Theoretical knowledge and name dropping is fine but only after your first 30-40 professional setups (includes room builds) you may also realize that there are many ways to skin the proverbial cat! You don't have to agree but frankly you should appreciate
@PeterA's efforts and the time he has taken the time to share and maybe offer us some personal accomplishments of your own, name dropping and linking obtuse commercial links takes it only so far.
