    Technical chat with David Bosch - Kef R&D Engineer - about loudspeaker design, IMD, and more!

    A few things up front that I need to mention to ward off any negativity: 1) We had some streaming glitches. I mention this at the front of the video. I wish it weren't the case but such is life sometimes. 2) I don't monetize these videos so before you complain about ^ just remember that you're...

    FS: Klipsch RP-600M II

    Selling the Klipsch RP-600M II. These are the ones I just reviewed. I paid for these myself, ordered from Amazon. I'm trying to recoup my costs as best I can but understand that these being used can't be sold for retail. So, I'm asking $650 (current retail is $750+tax). Shipping is...

    A whole bunch of in-wall speakers (Kef, Revel, ML, B&W, M&K, Focal)

    I recently posted my video for an in-wall “shootout” which includes a LOT of speakers from $500-3000 USD. This was a huge undertaking on my part - taking about 2 months to complete - and I'm glad it's now released. The results are really, really surprising in some cases. I didn't expect so much...

    Beth McMullin: Acoustic Engineer & Psychoacoustics Researcher who loves Steely Dan.

    This was one of my favorite chats so far. Be sure to leave a “thanks” to Beth for sharing her time to talk about her research and AES publications. (Note: My “interviews” are not monetized) The Steely Dan thing is a joke that makes sense if you watch the video.

    A tour of my home theater. JBL Pro Speakers, False Wall and lots of nostalgia.

    For those who are into home theater stuffs, this is my setup. Nothing fancy but it's fun, gets dumb loud and keeps me young at heart. I know I did some things that I think "why?" now and some things would change if I were to do it over. But, that's not the point of me sharing. It's just to...

    Comes with all original packaging, cables and remote. Killer speakers. I purchased these used a couple months ago after reviewing and loving them. But I have barely had time to listen to them and have decided to put the money toward some other stuff that I need for my YT channel. Retail is...

    Klipsch Forte IV Review (video)

    For those who may be interested, here is my objective and subjective review of the Klipsch Forte IV. Klipsch tends to get a bad report from me but this offering from them is one that is closer to neutral than any others I have tested. It’s mostly a “it’s ok” take from me but it’s nowhere near as...

    JBL M2 Reference Master Monitor Review

    Let's see how this goes, shall we? :) I can't post a link directly to my site (since Amir has blocked it) and I'm not about to do the whole copy/paste thing (many have mistaken my reviews for Amir's and I don't want to perpetuate that). So if you want to see the written review, the full suite...

    "Hands On" with the Klippel Nearfield Scanner

    The folks at Klippel contacted me about a week ago to ask if they could use some of my past videos to promote their product on their site and on LinkedIn. I obliged, of course (I mean, duh...). It reminded me, too, that I had been meaning to create a video showing how I use the Klippel. I...
