For those who know, or don't know, what the January issue of Stereophile is all about.
I'm really suprised that this has no copywrite issues. That's unbelievable!
Again, this is just a regular CD played on an Oppo 95 through a Yamaha RX-Z9 receiver, in CD Direct mode, through the Mermans. There is no digital processing, eq, room correction, room treatment or other being used.
And what are we supposed to be noticing here?

What does a video of a DIY system have to do with Stereophile?? Are they discussing the online perveance of videos used by some for evaluation of a system??

Guess you guys just need to read the January issue. Many would not understand the references unless they were familiar with the cut.
But what I was really demonstrating is the presence of the critical midrange and intelligability in Frank's voice that just doesn't come through on the L200/300s where it is much more laid back.
I cross over to the Heil at 2,150 Hz (~C7) so the midrange eminates from the 2251J without crossing over until you are well above the vocal range yielding a more coherent sound/image.

Not a reference to the Merman's, but to the song, Montana, referenced in the magazine article. If one doesn't know the song, they wouldn't get the references. And, not a lot of people listen to Frank, so this provides a point of reference to what is discussed.
Maybe later I'll have an opportunity to listen through something other than the invisible speakers in my 2012 MacBook Pro!
Gotta love that aspect of the variables in using YouTube as proof of anything.
