RE: Three Categories of Evidence

I am not in a position to comment on the posting but I would like to ask, "Why does audio have to be scientific? Why can't it be that on paper it might not work but if built, it might?

I have a close friend who is an HVAC engineer and he is more than capable of designing an HVAC system for any building ever made and probably ever will be made. Being an engineer he is very scientific and mathematical, like all engineers. It all has to make sense on paper before it goes out to be built. That is the thinking of him and any other egineer I ever met. I asked him once the design is drawn up and approved are there any changes that ever need to be made once the job is being done. More often not, but yes, at times. Couldn't this just be one of those times.

According to others that posted about the PSUD program, from what I understand it is a place to get going with a supply. if it comes that it is totally correct and all is good, then so be it. But there has to be times when the ear is a better tool than the program.

I hate to say it but my friend is a well known builder of speakers(mainly a cabinet maker) and uses crossover designs that is made on computer for him. The speaker is never listened to beofre he gets the design back to copy. His crossover builder(won't give any names) doesn't even listen to his work. He sends it back and says this is what it is supposed to be built and that is that. Many times I have listened to some of his new designs and to me they are always too bright. They maybe flat on a computer but in the real world to me, not so! Room conditions, ability to hear correctly(age factor), the recording itself, and of course, the other components used, all play a factor.

Programs are nice but so is the ear!
