Thank you for your effort Keith !
Any impression of the sound ?
sinds you have been there I am bit curious
The sound was pretty incredible actually. Quite a few guys I spoke to at the show was impressed by how clear it was. Especially when you take a closer look at the speakers. You can see that it looked like it was slapped together in someone's garage, the joints were not sanded down and the finish was canned spray paint.
I was able to get some details on how they measured and DSP'ed their speakers at the show. They asked me how I did mine - I said "quasi anechoic at the top, then average multiple measurements to get the listening window, EQ the listening window to flat. Then put the speakers in situ and EQ the bass only, apply a gentle tilt to the upper frequencies to taste". They nodded and said "yes we used to do all that. But today we just put the speaker in situ, mic at the listening position, and corrected the whole thing. We used a window of 50ms". I raised my eyebrows. "50ms? That's effectively no windowing!". Kim smiled and said "that's right. We don't recommend that you do that, but it must have been dumb luck and it sounds good. I don't know why it sounds so good but it does". I asked whether they looked at their energy-time curve to see what reflections they are inappropriately correcting. Kim said "I could have done that. But if it sounds good, there is no need to change".
