Kerry, you remind me the Israel Blume, the designer of Coincident Loudspeakers. He kind of nice guy who make small accurate little speakers that work OK in the barbarian rooms of the hi-fi shows. I generally appreciate him, at least he usually has a nice since of humor, without holding himself as ac pompous jerk (the typical illness of the CES crowd) . Still, since Israel deeply in love with the Manley Labs business I do not go into his rooms very frequently (I juts can’t stand that doggy, trying-high-precision-attitude of Eve-Anna Manley) and if I do go there then I stay very little time in there, desperately looking at the door as an escape. It has not a lot to do with sound but rather with the fact that those Manley’s hoodlums are not really my type of crowd. So, the last CES I spent a few second in Blume’s room and run always scared by the Eve-Anna’s high acoustic pressure “cool-chick-wonna to be”… Next days, Israel, caught me somewhere in Alexis Park and told me that that he can demonstrate something extraordinary. I agreed and we when in his room. In there he played to me some kind of recording saying: “Romy, now you will hear something very spacial”. I did hear it and then asked what should I hear. He told me that while the singer was singing she (or he, I do not remember) was moving toward the middle of the stage and he was very inspired that his playback was able to portray it. Well, since he was very moved by it I said thanks left his room. How could I explain to Israel that his entire demonstration was IRRELEVANT as the real imaging is much more complex issue then juts geometrical extension of a sound source within a soundstage?
Rgs,
