Posted Mon Jan12, 2009, 3:27 AM — By John AtkinsonMuch to my regret, I heard a significant improvement when the Synergistic devices were moved into the CES dem room and a degradation when they were removed.
Thanks Rydenfan.John Atkinson of Stereophile has weighed in on the Acoustic ART System in the Stereophile CES Show report. You can read his comments in the show report thread.http://blog.stereophile.com/ces2009/the_art_of_tuning/QuotePosted Mon Jan12, 2009, 3:27 AM — By John AtkinsonMuch to my regret, I heard a significant improvement when the Synergistic devices were moved into the CES dem room and a degradation when they were removed.

What reasons do you have for mistrusting the man,,,, do you know John Atkinson personally Doug? Thanks.Cheers,Robin
hi robin,no, i do not know john personally. and, from what i can tell, he actually seems an all right sort, especially when compared to a few other folks whose rewiews i used to read in that 'zine. but i know rim doesn't work for s'phile... and, i also do happen to know rim personally, and he's way beyond reproach, imo. i trust his hearing, i trust his commentary, and i trust his plain old common sense and judgment, re: things audio and otherwise.doug s.Quote from: satfrat on 12 Jan 2009, 11:26 pmWhat reasons do you have for mistrusting the man,,,, do you know John Atkinson personally Doug?

Well, fast forward to this weekends' CES. I just landed back home and this is my first chance to post. I have to tell you that the ART system in Eliott and Ted's SR Venetian Tower Suite room (which included very capable Wilson Sophia's and Burmester electronics) was no-brainer effective. I even stood far left of the left speaker, basically completely off axis on the left wall, and heard a collapse of the soundstage and a collapse of harmonics and air when the ART system was removed (i.e cups and Vibratron taken off their pedestals).

Ted, You listened that far off axis? When the word collapse is used, it makes it sound as if the system performed badly without the bowls.

Ted, You listened that far off axis? When the word collapse is used, it makes it sound as if the system performed badly without the bowls.I listened both dead on sweet spot and far off axis. My poorly made point is that it was obvious in all positions. No, the room sounded fine, normal, without the bowls. However, with the bowls it changed the room. Best I can describe is as if the speakers had been repositioned into a much better speaker position....the feeling you get when it "snaps into place" during those tough speaker placement sessions.
Just a heads up on mounting evidence in favor of the Acoustic ART System's ability to control room acoustics. Two more systems whose room acoustics were tuned using the Acoustic ART System have found favor in Stereophile's CES show coverage- Balanced Audio Technology, and Harbeth loudspeakers from England.http://blog.stereophile.com/ces2009/a_question_of_balance/http://blog.stereophile.com/ces2009/harbeth_updates_a_classic/Yours in music,Ted Denney IIILead Designer, Synergistic Research Inc.
No but there are a lot of people who have heard the system and are commenting. There are also reports of speakers and electronics that have never sounded so good as when my cables and acoustic treatments are in place. What I do not understand is why when so many people hear the effect of the Acoustic ART System they are ignored and the only focus (for some) is on what ever negatives can be found, no matter how slight, or from those who descent but have NEVER actually heard the Acoustic ART System. At some point a reasonable person will conclude there is something going on with the concept.Hopefully you'll never innovate in the analogue field and have to deal with such.Ted Denney IIILead Designer, Synergistic Research Inc.
I talked to the dealer. He has 10 sets coming in next week. He will, however, be in West Coast next week and won't be back until the 26th. He will try to get me a set out right after Turkeyday.
