I just don't get his 360 degree turn towards acoustic treatments. I understand that he was fighting against the whole "absorb all early reflectons concept" but he pushed hard to advocate some fresh ideas on the acoustic realm of treatment for the typical listening room and his u-turn is without an explanation. Is it all above board? Probably to some extent, but advertising money takes precedent.
In defence for Mathew Pose who was the expert on his first acoustic presentation on Audioholics was still in line with the concepts Gene layed out early on in his vidoes. Yes, with some discrepencies but Mathew layed it all down with science. Now, Gene's new videos(Poes and Grimmani) on acoustics are an all out u-turn on what he was previously advocating.
Now, I am not saying Grimmani is pseudo, he knows his stuff and its not much different to Mathew Poes's frame of thought but Mathew gave an explanation on why and how you can opt for certain treatment with each previous concept mentioned from Gene somehow covered or touched upon by Mathew. While Grimmani's presentation goes against the flow of these concepts(I am not saying the concepts are wrong in any way) perpetuated by Gene in his previous videos. By all means they could be all called for and people advance and change mindsets, but its straight up acoustic treatment now even for the typical listening room.
