I've always thought that Floyd's work was fabulous.

But...(there's always a 'but')...when it comes to audiophiles, specifically those who design speakers....we tend to disagree, to some extent -with Floyd. Why? If the audiophiles have a case, where did Floyd's analysis 'fall down'? When it comes to the highest fidelity and audiophile listening.... where was the misstep?

Here it is:

'Behind Acoustically transparent screens'

'Behind Acoustically transparent screens'

'Behind Acoustically transparent screens'

'Behind Acoustically transparent screens'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any loudspeaker designer and about 15 or more years of stereophile testing on this, will flat out tell you that there is no such thing as an 'acoustically transparent screen'....

Period.

This means that beyond basic direct radiative sonic attributes, nothing behind a 'screen' can be evaluated to anything like an even basic audiophile standard.

This has been well known for a considerable amount of time.
