RE: Print-zines, E-zines, size, policies, etc.

Hi,

I only wish to respond to one part of this because this is where certain thing could be mistaken as fact. Where you said that it's not to hard to learn how to conduct the measurement. I guess "learning" is relatively easy if something is already set up, but that's the biggest problem -- setup.

Actually conducting a proper loudspeaker measurement (as opposed to simply sticking a mic in front of a speaker) is extremely hard if you want accuracy, and that's why companies (and magazines such as ours) got to great lengths and tremendous costs to do so. In fact, I just traded emails today with an extraordinarily talented designer who was explaining just how difficult of a time he's having getting the kind of resolution and accuracy he wants in the bass.

We don't spend thousands of dollars every time we measure loudspeakers simply because we want to spend that money -- it's because we have to.
