>> I'm not seeing BS on the part of the people developing MQA. They did look at a lot of things in an old fashioned or old school way. The BS started with the marketing of MQA. <<
I think this is something of a grey area. In the first place, it's never been clear to me how much of any of Meridian's products (including MQA) were actually designed by Bob Stuart. I know that many (if not most) of Meridian's products were designed by others. I think that Bob is very good at spotting talent.
One example here is MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing). My understanding is that it was based on work done by the late Michael Gerzon (Gerzon worked under Peter Craven while studying for his advanced degree). Rhonda Wilson did the bulk of the work on that project - to the point where when the technology was sold to Dolby, Rhonda was part of the deal. Similarly, how much of the work on MQA was Craven's and how much was Stuart's? Were other designers/engineers involved?
And the AES paper that introduced MQA to the world (although not by name) was certainly much more of a marketing piece than one normally finds in peer-reviewed journals. I really don't understand how that paper made it through the peer-review process - there were so many questionable aspects to its contents that I find it embarrassing to the AES. The only thing I can figure is that using his position as a "Fellow" plus having no less than 50 references intimidated the reviewers (even though many of those 50 references do not support his work, and in some cases even contradict it).
