Medwin said: Supporting evidence was anecdotal, it came out of a problem one of the local Minneapolis Universities was having, testing mammals with high frequency audio signals, where Mr. Fulton was called in as a consultant, and he fixed the problem. Jeffrey Medwin It seems like a bit of stretch, to generalise from distressed baboons listening to ultrasonic signals to saying "It is THE best basic length for audio applications." This chap Fulton seems to have had a bit of a sense of humour. Do you not think it possible that he, and also the small High End audio Manufacturer from Montana, might have been having a bit of fun pulling your leg? Perhaps they felt you present a rather tempting target for a little gentle persiflage? Quote

Of course, they are now getting away from being stock looking (or sounding) Klipschorns. I think I've reached the limit on how far I can modify K-Horns, although I do have another set of bass bins and another project in mind. Quote

Then don't believe everything you read and then pass it along as fact. Two 12's in a ported box won't go that low that flat either especially considering driver materials and technology that was available when these were produced.

People such as Robert Fulton, and Dennis Fraker are OUTSTANDING individuals, who are Christians... Jeffrey Medwin I think it might be the case that some Christians have a sense of humour too. I do think that leg-pulling is the most charitable explanation for why they might have said these things... 1 Quote

Jeff Medwin Again, I'll ask you, do you have ANY idea what it takes for a subwoofer to be flat + - 1dB to 12Hz? How much air has to be moved? I can answer that for you, no. Blindly following someone else's opinion and not having any first hand knowledge of a particular subject isn't a good thing when you start repeating what that person says. I'm with the above sentiment that he was pulling your (as well as others) legs. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. Quote

PrestonTom Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 Jeffrey, It probably seems like we are being unfair or perhaps even mean. We are not a bad lot. It's just some of us take a more traditional, objective, common sense approach. As such we are inherently suspect of what seem to be some of these wild claims (IOW, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence). However, you will still find a number around here that might be sympathetic to your "approach". The only reason I get involved is that I want to see more people enjoy good sound, and do this in an effective, efficient and inexpensive way. As such, I feel compelled to poke at some of the wild claims made around here (especially when they have no support in science or engineering). Don't get me started on uber expensive capacitors soaked in beeswax ..... Good luck, -Tom 2 Quote
