Re: What engineering is and isn't

Rolf, you are on the right track. IF you can get a technical education and THEN realize that there is more to audio design than just numbers on a computer or from a piece of test equipment, then you can make real progress. The problem with many with audio, is that some become technically educated, but remove themselves from discerning audio differences, and think that it is all hype. Or else, they never get a technical education and just constantly tinker with circuits and loudspeakers, never really refining any general principles, but they still may achieve some success with what they put together. It just can't be duplicated by anyone else, in general.
The trick is to be open minded to what works in audio, but having the technical background to ultimately make sense of what you hear, and perhaps derive a test procedure, or a design approach that is more successful than the typical mid fi design approach.
