    Revel F206 owners, how are they holding up?

    Found a used pair of F206s for half the price of new ones on sale at %30 off (musicdirect) but there about 7years old. Wondering how well they hold up, should I buy the used ones? I can audition before I buy but that dosnt tell me what they sound like new.

    Articles including blind testing and off axis speaker response from 1969

    This was posted in another thread but there are people here who missed it and might find it interesting. Starting at page 32. It also fun to see an electronics magazine from over 50years ago. https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Radio-Electronics/60s/1969/Radio-Electronics-1969-03.pdf

    A great endorsement for ASR

    In this review of a Fosi amp the reviewer, at 7:45 minutes, says "why take the word of a dabbler, why not consult an audio expert. So I did. I went to audio science review" Then he shows the data from ASR on that Amp. The word is spreading. Keep up the great work Amir!

    How compression is used in the studio

    There seems to be some confusion about dynamic compression/limiting. This video shows how and why compression is used while recording and mixing music. This is not about the loudness wars, thats usually done with limiters while mastering.

    Windows 11 must be stopped

    I'm fairly new to windows so not sure how to take this but some of it sounds serious. Everything on your hard drive is encrypted and Bill Gates holds the key?

    Why too much doubt is destroying science

    Edit: Just realized this was a joke, well the jokes on me. While discussing gravity in the thread on doubt in science I was doing research when I found this: https://ncse.ngo/gravity-its-only-theory Containing "secondly, school textbooks routinely make false statements. For example, "the moon...

    Speaker wires don't carry any energy (power).

    Tell them when they try to sell you expensive cables. Very nonintuitive but true. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=The+great+misconcception+wire
