GURU Speakers

Here is an interesting interview with a speaker designer. I met this fellow at RMAF and besides being a good engineer, he has a tremendous ear for music. What I found to be important in his conversation was when he said that subjective evaluation is just as dangerous as objective testing:

The video looks like just a sales pitch for another small 2-way speaker. How much is it anyway (outside of the cost of the trip and on the spot indoctrination)?

When asked about his terminals:

Oh no, bi-wire means buy more wire.

Why Martha,

it's a steal at $13K for the 4-pack.

I have to say that they look just awful.

No, I like the simple classic look

Classic? As in a creation of the highest excellence with timeless appeal?

Hmm, not feeling that.

Let someone else steal it. He appears to to be quite arrogant to me. Your customers are not there for you. You are there for your customers.

You dont have to go to sweden to get the GURU speakers, just his "own" brand INO wich can be bought as diy-kits if you want to. I am active in another forum where he is also and I have never percieved him as arrogant. Infact he is very generous with his knowledge and has held several seminars on loudspeaker engineering and such.

PS. The looks have absolutely NOTHING to do with aestethics.

if they were engineered for sound quality they would be bigger. such little boxes cant make enough sound to have low distortion at a usefull level.

so, the looks of those can only be for aesthetics
