What could be more fun (and enlightening) than to hear me talk about loudspeaker design and technology for forty minutes? You can’t think of anything can you? Thought as much. So with the help of the brilliant Julian Rogers I did a podcast for Sound On Sound, the world’s best audio recording and production magazine. […]
I’ve referred to the development of the LS3/5X compact, high performance hi-fi speaker in blog posts here and here, but now it is alive and available for direct sale it has some dedicated website pages of its own.

Originally from Hong Kong, Audio First founder Harry Yeung gained an MSc in Acoustic Engineering from Salford University and, following a period working in architectural acoustics back home, has […]

This isn’t a particularly Music or Miscellany post but I thought it might be of interest. Apparently without warning last Saturday my Facebook and Instagram accounts were permanently disabled on the grounds that I’m underage.
