Stasys 3 MK2 VS Porn Horn V2

 

I said they sound beautiful.. and they do, at whatever distance... all I'm saying is if Rog (or any speaker designer) had any brain they would design the cab to plot perfectly at 1m as that's what all the manufacturers specs use... It's like 0-60 times on cars and the long 2nd gear most cars now have (so you can get to 60 with only one gear change, hence giving a more impressive figure)... it's a marketing trick that anyone would employ.

 

Digidrive.. has presets for the porn which have probably had hours and hours tweaking  / measuring / tweaking time... you think Rog didn't use them??? Seriously? They day turned into a porn sales demo really.. be honest.

 

I got far better plots out of the MA912s on a later measuing session with much more tweaking / playing with delays / eq.

Mikey, you need to read a few posts up mate, because adam just said that after I left he played around with the settings with his own gear and got a much better response.

 

So either he's better at tricks than me or I didn't play any. This is why shootouts are a waste of time. You're much better of getting a load of people around kit they know how to set up well and putting on some good tunes whilst having a beer and a chat about it. Then compare one system or bit of kit to another. Its so unlikely that a few people at the event will understand how to get the best out of all the kit at the shootout and that can mean that some really misunderstood bit of kit might get rejected because no one either knows or can be bothered to get the best from it. That makes the whole reasoning behind a shootout pointless.

 

And if you could kindly explane what tricks I played with the Stasys X at PLASA that would be nice.
