IF you made your living off of making "studio monitors" that were sought after and sold for $20G a set, would you tell potential competition your hard learned trade secrets? IF any of this info was to be shared with you, would you pass it on to anyone else?and the person i speak of only spent a few years in this country before going back to europe. he was hired on as a private contractor by a few stateside companies to assist their "golden engineers" to further develope their product more than they were able to get it.his frustrations of this countries audio industry turned him away. all these engineers of the  mind set of not venturing away from what the "books said and what they were taught". if you couldn't show them on paper how and why it was better, they didn't want to accept using their ears hearing it was better. that would mean for them to re-learn everything they thought they new and admit they didn't know it all.but their bringing in an outside person to achieve a sound they couldn't, already shows that. second part is their lack of patience to finish a design job to perfection. why should they produce the best? 99.8% of the customers won't know any better. it's an arguement of marketing. why double the cost of R&amp;D to dial the speaker from 90% to 100%, when you won't make any  more $ off the end result.why change their train of thought, when what they've done all these years has worked just fine.your single track mind set is not new to me. i was there myself until about 10 years ago. it is prevailent in this industry. i don't post this to argue with you, as i know i might as well be trying to huff and puff, and blow down a brick wall. not going to happen. i post so those with an open mind might explore all the sides with a free mind. get anyone i can to look for their answers in an open field, not just what there is to find on a single narrow path of limited idea's.</blockquote>
