As you know, listening to speakers in stereo in a regular room is a lot more forgiving than one speaker. So pair this with an efficient design with the ability to play loud with pretty low distortion and a frequency response that honestly isn't too shabby - now you've got a speaker that will sound good and will please most people in a normal situation in the real world. At least that's my take on it.
Yes, that's why Sonos, Bose, Apple sells a lot of speakers. At least with those you get built in amplification and streaming as well as a bit of help with room correction.
 
Brydon10, You are correct. I can bring a skeptic to our factory and give them a demo that will alter and enlighten the minds of our biggest critics. Another FACT in audio and acoustical physics is you can never 'unhear' something - I invite anyone to schedule a visit.
 
JustJones, Correct. Now try telling a 'pure analog' guy running a vinyl turntable and a tube amplifier he needs "room correction", "built in amplification", and "streaming". I believe the most modern systems are great and pure analog is great too.

As a side note I met with Sonos in 2012 because they were planning to move into manufacturing loudspeakers and they needed a person to head up the team. I've been down the BOSE rabbit hole too; I really can't see myself designing 'consumer products' any time soon.
 
thegeton, I don't stutter. The FACTS are the speaker has been put in a 'false light' and the problem needs to be resolved. Please hang tight for the YouTube response.

Hi Eric
I am a local, would you be able to loan me your best center (wide horizontal dispersion and "best sound halo") so I can test it (mostly subjective) as I had done with a lot of other centers?

I believe we've already gone over this...

There was no follow up to prior boasts, and I don’t see substance here. Perhaps it is forthcoming (and it better be if litigation is being threatened), but there is no point to ranting in these pages without a substantive claim. Your lawyer would tell you to stop.
 
The on axis response of the Tekton Impact Monitor (as measured by Stereophile) is quite impressive, so Eric is definitely capable,
I’ve never argued he is incapable. But there are lots of speakers with decent on-axis response. It hardly represents the singular apex of speaker design achievement.

We can’t unread your recitation of oddly constructed “FACTs” either.

Much like lawsuits, I don't do YouTube, especially audio reviews.

Like a good engineer, I'll wait for your peer reviewed white paper. Let me know when that drops.

The Facts are he measured the speaker incorrectly. It will probably come to litigation so everyone needs to hang tight...

YouTube response and litigation?

OK, I'm sure there are ASR members who are lawyers here, but if I were to take a guess, you would need to hire an expert to prove why Amir's testing methods, which follows industry standards of CEA 2034, are "botched" and explain why industry standards are "botched" and you would have to prove intent of libel. You likely would have to provide your own measurements from an laboratory that is certified under perhaps ISO or other standards and if that's if the laboratory is willing to entertain the idea of measuring your speakers using non industry standards and able to justify why. That's a tall order to achieve Mr. Alexander.

Or I suspect you may plan to bring forth a suit with the intent to intimidate or to cause legal cost burden.

Thanks for sharing your opinion!
 
I've got to do some big-boy work here and head to breakfast; I'll be back to thwart trolls later...

Now we're trolls. Just asking for some science Eric.

The only thing that refutes science is better science. In the absence of that, we have conjecture and threats.

Got science?
