Paul Hales vs. the Audio Industry: Have We Forgotten What Good Sound Sounds Like?

Have audiophiles become so accustomed to compromised sound that we've forgotten what great loudspeakers should sound like? Paul Hales, the designer behind PRO Audio Technology, Theory Audio Design, and Theory Professional, joins us to challenge some of the audio industry's most sacred cows. From loudspeaker measurements and room correction to digital signal processing and conventional design wisdom, Hales explains why much of what audiophiles believe deserves closer scrutiny.

With decades of experience designing speakers for everything from living rooms and private screening rooms to outdoor installations and live venues, he makes a compelling case for rethinking how we judge sound quality. Are we listening critically, or have we simply gotten used to bad sound?
