Reader Lisa T. Marv notices that there are very few women audiophiles among her friends or the companies she buys from. She wants to know: Why aren't there more women in high-end audio?
Extremes of cost and performance continue to impress. But plenty of high-performance products can be had for very little money as well. With all of this, is high-end audio moving in the right direction?
Either Mr. Dudley is ignorant of the following two audio terms or, he deliberately avoided using them in his review.
1.Controlled directivity (CD) & 2.waveguide
If the former is the unfortunate case, then I recommend he read up on CD. It's apparent to me from Mr. Ryan's "Manufacturer's Comments" and teachings at the lean simplifiaudio web site that CD was a major design objective of the Gradient and that the designers had read the teachings of Toole, Olive and Geddes.
If the latter is the case, then would Mr. Dudley kindly explain himself in a response post here.
