Thank you
I am not quite sure what this is all about or where all these conversations about artists and critics come from. It is very clear that you do not understand what the subject is about, and you clearly show that you are not even interested, yet you continue to express your opinion about people who clearly do care and who are actually doing something. What are you trying to accomplish by expressing yourself this way? It is completely legitimate to remain silent. Do not post anything if you have nothing to say.

Mind/Body Meltdown
Even worse, the mind goes, along with the body. So, what's left after that? Consciousness? It is nice for me that Music still moves me, as lots of other things I used to do flew away like the stars after the Big Bang. Regardless of how we style ourselves we are who/what we are. Any description of "how things are" is obviously a matter of perspective, if nothing else. Even to disagree we need to first establish a point from which we push away. As for The Loudspeaker, it had nothing to do with my aging, rather it turned up timely as I was trying to get more than I had at the time, just like I'd done almost continuously since I was a two-fisted young man. The irony to me was that it happened when it did, and I was barely able to get the job done.  As for artists, most I've known have had little to say about their art, and it was those who were well-informed, politically savvy and articulate that got grants, which may serve to perpetuate a myth, or it just reflects the art that "gets through". It all starts with Being There.

Did I guess correctly? I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way to avoid boombox by implementing a physical exercise before it's too late.. Also , how being impotent as an artist is influencing vocabulary Smile I think it fits supremely into the topic but I will post no more.Warm Reagrds

Please, read it a few times.

You guessed very accurately within the limits of your own understanding of the scope. You are looking at a critical mass of plutonium and seeing only a pile of metal, without grasping the complexity of the material or its intricate inner workings. Without acknowledging this complexity, you cannot truly understand the nature of the matter.

You lack of curiosity that ignites instantly when encountering something unknown, and you do not seem to recognize the depth of the delusion you subscribe to. You report that you feel pain engageing deeply in this musical context, and instead of addressing your personal discomfort, you repress it into the subconscious and build a culture of misunderstanding and denial as your default mode of operation.

This does not make you a bad person—it makes you human. But at the same time, it makes you someone who is not accessible when it comes to discussing or thinking about the very subtle inner workings of human–music–machine interaction during listening.

My recommendation would be to step away from audio for a while and find a way to bring your pain from the subconscious into conscious awareness. Among other things, this may help you stop experiencing pain when music is more capable and expressive than ordinary sonic noise.

The Ghost In The Machine
The idea behind writing about The Loudspeakers might serve me to write about anything in particular, except - despite some long digressions - this thread was meant to record my own thoughts about The Loudspeakers in such a way as to distinguish them, according to my own experience. Of course they share a good deal in common with other loudspeakers, generically speaking, and commonality increases according to topological similarities. These speakers remind me of the old JBL 4350s that were around when I was looking at and listening for stuff like that, but I never had 4350s to play with. Regardless, I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. I have had few questions about these speakers, and call-and-response threads about them I have read to date have not told me much of what I wanted to know about them, mostly a matter of perspective. I do think that there are "purely electro-mechanical" issues worth talking about for anyone actually thinking seriously about The Loudspeakers. But the Josh/Macondo debacle yet serves as a cautionary tale re: intellectual undertow. Any highway around here is littered with wrecks and the wounded.

There are other ways.

Paul, if you suggest any seriousness of thinking about loudspeakers or about any other aspect of audio for that matter then this is exactly what I defend. You can’t make any judgment about audio elements using your own subjectivism as a reference point, it defeats all purpose and make “right” a person to be the own who sells own ideas better. I absolutely abandoned this version of audio. There are other ways.

Sales and Marketing vs. Akashic Record
I guess anyone who has that agenda might have to put that first. Not I. Like you said in a little earlier  post, we talk about impedance and cone resonance, nuts and bolts, that sort of thing, and naturally it winds up just like the Accuracy vs. Musicality vs. YMMV. Still looking forward to your own synopsis or perhaps introduction to your current ideas/approach, even if it results in post-apocalytic GSC.

Best regards,

Ok
Yes, after I explain my “Audio 2025 apocalypse” it will be better perspective to understand all my current blabbering. You can start to think about it yourself if you ask yourself HOW you know that there is a relation between cone resonance and what you feel. I promise you that it is not as simple question as it might appear.
