So? How do you know they wouldn't be even better with proper studio monitors? Or produced faster.
Who says they are "best sounding?" Based on what comparison in what controlled testing?
That is not why they are, i.e. the speakers. You have no idea or testing as to what role those speakers played or didn't play in such mixes.
You made the claim. You need to prove it. If you have no data, or research to back it, then you need to remain silent on the issue. Not make the broad claim that you made.
There are likely a ton but we would never know it because your industry doesn't do a modicum of research to see how your tools impact your work.
As the people here who've already bought them can attest.
In controlled testing, such a divide does not exist. In subjectivist, opinion based world, yes. But not in fact based one.
Re: Sharpie not fully opaque: Nail polish?If I had a set of these I could do the measurements and design the printing file, but you might be right that the current overlap is zero.
To anyone reading at Palmer: I would be more than happy to create a printable orange ring cover if you let me borrow... and keep a pair...@UffdiePalme
For my audio related 3D printing credentials, please see the diffuser thread.https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/3d-printing-a-qrd-n53-diffuser.54930/
I do agree with @levimax and @SUNS that there may be simpler solutions. The problem with sharpie is that it won't be fully opaque. I think vinyl would work, but either you have to cut it in place (might be tricky) or you need access to a vinyl cutter, which is even less common than a 3D printer. I also think affixing a pre-cut adhesive vinyl ring might be tricky. The advantage of a 3D printed part would be rigidity, so aligning by hand it would be easier.
The disadvantage of a 3D printed part would be that it would be somewhat raised above the surface, causing unwanted diffraction, so you might design it to be a bit wider than the ring, with a smoothed profile, to try and mitigate that.
I have had pretty good luck with Sharpies for situations like this. If you go over it 2 or 3 times I think the orange would cover up up pretty well, especially for a small area like this. It is a LOT easier and faster than precision measurements and 3d printing or paint or nail polish. If it doesn't work you can try something else more invasive. YMMV.
It would probably void the 5 year garantee, thats why we're trying to avoid sharpies of nail polish
I don't have a steady enough hand with paint (I say nail polish counts as a type of paint here) to want to try that, but I guess it would work. I think one already knows if they feel confident enough to paint the front of their speaker...
Vinyl wrap..
Add vat and export tax..
I’m in Canada, there’s no VAT just sales tax (13%).
It's never too late Amir! Or is it?
If they ever die, and I can't get parts, then I will move on. Otherwise, it is my Will that they will be buried next to me!!!
Well, that's a very unusual request. It would probably be impossible to implement in Germany, because there are quite strict rules for burials here and even regulations for cemeteries. On the other hand, a large loudspeaker is of course ideal for use as a coffin if the deceased is the right size, because the shape is largely identical.
