So, the world has changed.
For those who follow these things, the car world changed forever a few months ago when Tesla instroduced the P90D. A seven seat (electric) family car with a 0 to 60 time of 2.8 seconds now outperforms pretty much every car available except a very small number of extremely expensive supercars made in tiny quantities. Head of Aston Martin said the performance of the Tesla was 'stupid', I guess while he figured out how to explain to all his sportcar buyers that the (slower) Aston was still a world beating sportscar.
The same is now true of speakers. While it may or may not work as well as advertised, Sonos are selling a multi driver, multi amp, DSP wireless speaker that can be corrected for room effects and position by simply using an iOS phone to measure room response.
While the real ale, bearded guys are arguing about speaker cables, greasing the main bearing on their turntable, the smart guys are plonking down a play 5, waving their phone around and achieving better performance.
How cool is this....
