I am not a PE...but I work with allot of them...I work in the field of Architectural Precast Concrete, started in production, in the field erecting then into project management and design...so in all aspects with 30 years+ experience...(I drew my first Sewage treatment plant at age 14, in my ol'man's business)...
By shear exposure, putting out fires and knowing what works and what doesn't...I can design a project from reinforcement, to lifting, to field connections and fixes...I cannot crunch the numbers, but I KNOW the nuts and bolts of it...
I will get a young Engineer design something...when I tell him it won't work...he looks at me like "what the hell do you know"...then I proceed to ask a few key questions in Engineer speak...go check it again...
Electronics are not my forte...but I can believe there are guys like me out there...I do believe an Engineer needs to be involved at some point...but they do not always have practical experience of what actually works...theory is just that at times...theory...
Just my $.02
thanks
Mark

Concrete is low, low tech compared to electronic design.All great practical electrical/electronic designs were once "theory"!
Technicians are lousy designers.
I will admit there are poor engineers, but they generally lack heavy theoretical knowledge, and experience.

Very much depends on what you do with it.
Take the Millau Viaduct as an example: Designed by Norman Foster and the structural engineer Michel Virlogeux but it makes amplifier design look trivial.
MarkMan is a college drop out that hates real engineers!
You have little appreciation for "State of The Art" audio design.
True, simply because it really is trivial compared to a bridge, a sky scraper, a plane or even a small car.
He trolls my posts...
I do not respond to him and it drives him nuts...
He is bitter old drunk, kind of sad actually...
He changes his moniker every few months and the moderators are well aware of his behavior...so I just let him blow...
For the record...this college drop out, (not really, I have a lonely Construction Management degree), had a really good day...that was 4 years in the making...I finally got ICC-ES approval to go along with my other approvals, IAPMO-ES, FEMA, GSA preferred supplier and Published in ACI for, SCLC, (Structural Cellular Lightweight Concrete). We will have our own and new Master spec designation also...very exciting stuff...
SCLS has great acoustic properties and actually absorbs sound...it will become the standard for high-way noise walls...it also has 1.4R per inch, so an 8" panel will have an R-Value of 11.4 with no insulation...and only weighs 75lbs per Cubic Foot...this is a game changer in the Concrete Industry...
So all of ol'Potzy attempts to ruffle my feathers just won't work...If you ever want to know the skinny on this guy, I have more than a dozen bat-$hit crazy emails from the old-coot...really funny stuff...
Thank you again
take care
Mark
He must of disconnected the breathalyzer on his computer, again...
MarkTell him "you" are a former alcoholic.
You are the one that harassed me with Emails and phone calls, after I declined a visit to your condo.

...it did seem somewhat personal before I waded in but I wasn't certain.
Being a welder by trade and european I have no idea what all those abbreviations mean but it seems quite interesting stuff.
Would it be possible to cast speaker cabinets from SCLS?
Nice illustration Mark.
