RE: Long-established, engineering-based manufacturer vs. small hobbyist-gone-to-the-dark-side upstart

Posted by pictureguy on December 8, 2020 at 14:04:40:

Just a spitball here......I have NOT heard the Acoura speakers.

But it occurs that a company without access to some very Expensive items, like an Anachoic chamber or who knows what else, may USE a review to gain knowledge of their product. Stereophile has both a large background in speaker measurement but also keeps their equipment used fairly current....

Treat the review as a 'reality check'.

I'd expect a 'Mark II' version of the Acora with some substantial modifications. Maybe fix that crossover? Reduce that 900hz peak, maybe?

It would appear they have some fundamentals 'right' but maybe need some voicing help as well as maybe some crossover assistance, too?
