Gargoyle,

I am going to tell you something that is very important and that you hardly ever heard in audio.  The guys who are trying to do something in higher-end audio always attribute a lot of attention and energy to tooling. For sure tools are important in audio, but to a degree. There is much more important then tools – the applications of the tool in order to get a desirable result. The application easy override the inferiority of tool or able to compromise the best tools available out there. The improper application of even the very good methods/tools is exactly where 99% of audio folks slip. It is not even applications themselves but the discrimination of causality – the region where most of audio people are clueless. Pretend you build your audio paper horn and get some kind of result. Then you did the same horn from wood. Then you mass loaded your paper horn with some kind of heavy wax, like Goto does. Pretend you load the very same driver in all of them and get 3 distinctly diligent results. You might think that you get the causality? Hm…. Not so simple. I can give you reasoning why sound still might be different and it would not have anything to do with material of the horn. So, what I always say and what audio people do not understand is following: pick you topology and perfect it internally. Efforts spent on PROPER perfection of your topology or tooling (presuming that they are potent) will way overweight and expansion in new tooling. Also, always use the main rule of my site:
