I suspect he has been crying hard without access to multiple anechoic chambers, double blind listening tests, and access to Harman portfolio of harman patents in the new job.
Let's remember that the innovative waveguide came from Harman luxury group (Revel, Automotive Sound), not from the JBL group.
For the record, I invented the Image Control Waveguide (Patent #US9924249B2) while at Harman Consumer Group.
With regards to the measurements posted, as Kali Marketing previously stated, these do not match the design or measurements of IN8 smaples I have tested. I'm not sure what happened, but I would be happy to help figure it out.
With regards to measurements we use for voicing, I use anechoic data in addition to ground plane and spatial average measurements. Crossover points, summation, spinorama, etc. are optimized using anechoic data. The chamber we use has 3' wedges and is equipped with a Klippel measurement system. Low frequency calibration of the chamber is not perfect, so we use ground plane measurements to ensure that low frequency response is as expected.
With regards to being hired by Kali, the fact is that I am one of the founders of this company. As someone for whom music is very important, I wanted to be able to continue developing loudspeakers that provide the maximum value to people who create music. I hope that you will find that this is the case with every product we make.
As an aside, if anyone is at NAMM this week, we have the IN8 speakers set up next to the LP8 and LP6. We are at the Courtyard Marriott at 2045 S. Harbor Boulevard if you would like to stop by and listen, I will be available for any questions you may have.
