Genelec has published even several journal papers ..., would love to read more about their bass "steering", also in interaction with the GLM identification of room anomalies, guess they don't do it as they are afraid of being copied.
Yeah, aren't we amateurs--at best? The science loving audiophiles we are!
I said it with my very first, and confirmed with my second post on this topic that the new, then still secret magic was about interference. Different drivers with dedicated phase to, you name it, 'steer' the radiation.
My contribution was dismissed as always as unqualified, superficial at best, at least without any merit. You opted to discuss instead the looks of your (wishful thinking) new little black thingy as to please your significant other. Impressive results were achieved.
C'mon, the bass steering is ages old. It is trivial once budgetary and size restrains are lifted. What we have here.
Bear with me, what you are missing utterly in its entirety is an analysis what you as an instance of the targeted end consumer of audio recordings would need to appreciate the information contained in recorded audio. The intellectual meaning of the sound that is transmitted to your homes. By how much the intelligence of that meaning is suppressed by imperfections of the transmission. Yes, the *meaning* of a reording, what it is supposed to tell to a human mind, the message. Too abstract of a a concept, bad English? Sure.
