Thanks for the condescension disguised as respect. But I'd like to clarify: it's not that I don't like neutrality, it's that I don't confuse neutrality with a lack of dynamics. A system can be flat in frequency and still sound dull, because neutrality isn't everything: temporal coherence...

I agree on several points. The room and the loudspeaker form an inseparable unit, and DSP can be a useful tool for managing that interaction, especially in challenging environments. But I also believe there are designs that, even in moderately treated rooms, manage to excite without digital...

Thanks for the correction. It's always helpful to have someone check your spelling. The interesting thing is that you get excited about this kind of thing, at least I don't.

I completely agree that GLM can be a useful tool, especially when combined with a good room. But like any tool, it has a defined scope. Improving acoustics always adds value that's not up for debate but even with an optimized room, GLM still operates within the physical limitations of the...

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but don't underestimate those of us who seek more than simply correcting a curve. GLM calibration can be useful, especially in untreated rooms, but even with good acoustics and repeated measurements, the character of the system still depends on its physical design...

Sí, sé que «poner los pelos de punta» no es un término técnico. Pero la reacción emocional a una reproducción convincente es real, predecible y ha sido ampliamente estudiada en psicoacústica. Lo curioso es que cuando un sistema produce ese tipo de respuesta sin exageraciones, sin coloraciones...

I understand the enthusiasm for the flexibility of the GLM system and the adaptability of the Genelec SAMs, but beyond the mirror metaphor, the final result depends on the underlying acoustic design. No matter how much DSP correction it has, the character of the system is defined by its...

The only thing I've said is, Generec is overrated in my opinion in terms of how music makes me feel. It's been classified as the giant killer because many people, when they listen to it (in fact, it doesn't sound bad), have already become biased because it measures well and its response is a...

It's interesting how expulsion is suggested by a metaphor, while passive-aggressive comments like "leave the windows open" pass without a problem. If demanding that music be emotional is grounds for censorship, then perhaps the problem isn't the tone, but the discomfort generated by questioning...

Well, now we know you don't get goosebumps... maybe because you listen like a golden mole, devoid of emotion and almost no response to sound. The funny thing is that some people confuse neutrality with insensitivity, and measurement with music. But don't worry, not everyone is born to feel; some...

Yes, a speaker should be as neutral as possible, but the reality is that there are key aspects that become relevant when we listen, for example, to how the phase between channels behaves, the level of microdynamic compression at low volumes. You don't see that in a target curve or in a harmonic...

"Thanks. I really appreciate any design that achieves high fidelity, whether for the studio or home. But some speakers and monitors are more designed for technical analysis than for enjoying music as an emotional experience. Kroma surprised me because it achieves a balance between detail and...

No, I'm not used to speakers with "colors." I'm used to being moved by music, not being passed over like a forensic analysis. There's an absurd obsession with measuring things that don't translate into emotion. And the problem is that some people confuse neutrality with lifelessness. If for...

Oh right... now it turns out that if you don't like how they sound, it's because "they're not for everyone." But I'll be more careful, and instead of saying they sound flat and lifeless, I'll say it's us who aren't ready.

No, I haven't looked up Kroma's measurements... and honestly, I don't need to, although I presume they'll be fine. They won't be nearly perfect like Generec. They've already analyzed some of their models here, and they measure extraordinarily well. But this is precisely what I'm trying to say...

I hope you're not disappointed like I was with the Generec. I had high expectations since I'm very familiar with active systems, and although the Generec doesn't sound bad—in fact, better than many at the show—it was still clear to me that simply forcing the EQ with a DSP isn't enough to achieve...

Sometimes we let ourselves be guided and even manipulated by technically correct results. In this case, a flat frequency response tells us that the system will sound good. The problem is that when you achieve this forced response by correcting with DSP, you can also alter the phase and a flat...

One question, do you consider that 2 amplifiers with a different frequency response curve sound the same or different?

If you are going to criticize, at least write something to read that is interesting like what others have done.

The data you provide is interesting, 6000 times worse as you mention could be audible, although yes, the one who does the A/B test plays with the acoustics of the room, levels the volume, does the test at an ideal volume and switches immediately etc... I'm sure you don't hear any differences The...
