In Reply to: "All other things equal, a black color speaker cone will sound better than a white color speaker cone" posted by Christopher Witmer on February 1, 2007 at 16:36:35:
I worked with a guy that actually thought that painting a room black made it quieter.
The irony was he worked at a laboratory which did acoustics and he still had a hard time accepting the truth.As for his statement, if the cones were exactly identical in acoustic performance it is still possible, if the listening comparison were done sighted.
As for "Quantum informatics has important implications for high-end audio."
I would say it is utterly true that this message would be spread far and wide….if you have a financial interest in a company trying to sell with dazzling words.
Goggle search “Quantum informatics” and see if you can figure where it would be so important to audio, unless its some advanced copy protection scheme.Where did this steamer come from?

Yeah, I did a quick Google of "quantum informatics" and the top site was the math dept. of some university in Russia, and they gave the example of using it to develop an encryption scheme where it would be impossible for someone to break the encryption without revealing themselves in the process. Very interesting, but no tie-in with loudspeaker dynamics could be seen.
Funny thing is, I don't see how all other things could be equal if the cone colors were different. Different colors would be produced by different compounds with different inherent physical properties.
I'll try anything once -- if someone else is paying for it and I can listen in a double-blind A/B test . . .
Ok for info.
Quantum computing is nonsense to get research funded.
It is a trend and they are many academic in it.
Actually it is extremely poor.

It may be a matter of more aural sensitivity
with lack of optic input (more brainpower
available to hook up to the ears).> "quantum informatics"
??????.....Quantum physics perhaps.
(wherein the observer is part of the phenomenon)I think most people (sighted) may think a black
cone to sound better than a white one. Something
more 'professional' looking about black.
(simply because most cones are black (or close))?
I just got some clear plastic cone drivers that
don't 'look' like they sound as good as equivalent
black plastic cone drivers.......:)
