Interesting interview. I like the common sensed approach Greg tends to use in his work but the corporate bean counters always win in the end... now that Samsung owns Harman, its even worse.
I listened to the interview with my 580's! At my home, I seemed to be the only one that cared about that. 😛
Man, this was a cool interview. So many nails in coffins.
BTW I was able to get an idea of the dynamics by playing a hi-hat clip on all of my speakers. A hi-hat is nice because it has some bass and lots of little peaks between 1-4khz. The levels were matched and the playback was recorded with rew's RTA. The horns had big jumps but were not as accurate in that they overemphasized the resonances in the clip. I do love them for movies. They can still scare me after owning them for years.
So maybe pick some sound effect and run that through everything along with the sweeps. It would be a shape people can compare rather than just a flat line.
Thanks to @bikinpunk and Mr. Timbers.

- Asymmetrical baffles to randomize diffraction
- A man with 40+ years of experience says there are unmeasurable unknowns (I want to hear tube amps with my horns now)
- I loved the line about the circle of different flawed designs that can never reach the center of perfection
- Using the measured off-axis response to create a sim of the closer angles
- Mr. Timbers controls his phase
- and more. I am still watching it.

I don't know how others view videos like this but although I am likely to be interested in some of it I am simply not prepared to sit down and watch it in the foreground for an hour and a half. Perhaps I ought to get more organised so I can listen to bits now and again when doing chores possibly via my phone if the battery is up to it. What would work much better for me though is a script of the conversation that I can read, skip through some bits, go back and reread the interesting bits,... Am I alone in this or would others prefer this format to a video or podcast? How much work is involved in running speech recognition and correcting it?
Just a thought because I am seeing growing numbers of technical(ish) videos like this that I might be interested in. I am a bit of an old crumbly though used to reading rather than watching videos so perhaps the times are leaving me behind and I am best ignored.

Just as an option you can do now if you use the youtube site you can speed up videos with the gear. This can make your video shorter. Also, @bikinpunk could add chapter markers to the videos.

Many thanks for the link. Website bookmarked. This gives most of what I was after pretty much instantly. Thanks again.
Never!
Technology gets better for the young, and the young at heart!
I'm with you Andy. I think the key is make sure you have the time and space and place to do it.
Sometimes I watch some of Erin's videos whilst doing the dishes or whatever, and it's a missed opportunity. Some of it are real nuggets of gold! Which make me stop and take notes.
So it's best to play it on your TV, kick back and just listen...
I love listening to retired designers, no longer constrained by their employers. And even if they do, sometimes a lapse or slip of tongue really lets you know what they think...😉
Haha. Modded his Everest. Built his own horn and enclosure.
"Black box custom" Guess he's gotten hold the same drugs we stuck on... you pick your poison
"you know if perfect sound is somewhere
in the middle of a circle
uh everybody's on the circumference
coming from all sorts of different
angles trying to get to that center
point
and you can be equal distance from the
center point and not sound anything at
all alike"

I use youtube-dl.exe every single day of the week.
I'll find videos on YouTube, download them off YouTube basically turn them into podcasts.
There isn't much in the video that requires visual aids, and if I need them, I can just queue up the YouTube video in the background.
On the downside, this robs Erin of clicks 🙁
Love it. Just audio nerds chatting. No sales pitch...
Who's going to do a Close 901 with modern DSP?
Can you do a interview with John Krevskovsky? @john k...

I was happy to hear that Greg likes the sound of open baffle speakers a lot!
Yes, Kreskovsky interview sould be super nice. He has "retired" from speakers now, and only occasionally participates in discussions here

I asked sometime last year... maybe before then. He said he prefers to be behind the scenes but was cool about it. The invitation is there if he ever changes his mind, of course.
Feel free to get a hold of Greg yourself to ask him.
This wasn't an "interview". It was a chat between two audio nerds. 😉
