Fun? Sony Muteki. :p

Are there any walls/floors nearby that could cause extinction? Like, 95cm-1.05m from the right woofer cone and 90cm-1m from the left woofer cone? Do the nulls move when you shift the speakers to change those distances? EDIT: If it were room modes the null would be at the same frequency for...

A nerdy and very interesting point of view. One of the standout differences between 1980 and 2024, besides all the superficial stuff, is how the Japanese dialog (the majority of dialog on screen) is being handled.

I’m only two episodes in, but I feel a bit less enthusiastic. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great adaptation, and I eagerly await the next episodes. However, I cannot help making comparisons with the 1980 version. I do like the greater detail in the story, owed to it being twice the length...

Barcelona?

Can’t say I know much about them. I’d say more along the lines of Kingswood Warren :)

I want speakers to have purposeful, utilitarian design. I do appreciate fine woodworking and hate sloppy build quality, but I want speakers designed by acoustic engineers, not the marketing department.

Ideally, yes.
