Post Subject: "Incremental Change" and Personal ResultsPosted by Paul S on: 10/31/2025
For a long time I have sold the idea that audio changes using different topologies can happen by degrees, and what is unsaid (but pretty much implied) is that different topologies might "overlap" (+/-) in terms of audible results. "Audible Results" is loaded because we are back to the listener, a personal person in a particular situation. As one example, when messing around with speakers that are "close to DPoLS", one might hear big changes from small movements of drivers and/or listener. Not to be simplistic, but perhaps Bill has "stumbled" across a physical combination that delivers good bass in his situation? Sure, it would be nice to have a working theory, but don't we always say, "If you achieve DPoLS, call for the cement mixer."? It may well be, and I have seen/heard it many times, that "the same gear in the same configuration" produces different results. In fact, I would go so far as to say this is usually the case. Bill has worked hard for a long time and used his ears while so doing. God Bless him. I dare anyone to copy him. Meanwhile, I'm not going to bring up Remedios...
