Three years ago I changed this channel over to audio projects, and immediately started to notice how seriously guys take this topic. A seriousness that goes well beyond it's overall importance in their day-to-day life.
There's an old saying that's pretty much been forgotten these days, and it how you shouldn't discuss religion or politics in polite company because these topic run deep. Well, apparently audio could be included in that short list because I think I've made more enemies in the last 3 years talking about audio that I did in a lifetime of talking about other things that are much more important.
It wasn't long after I started talking about audio that I got a personal email from a gent that put into some very insulting words what he thought of my opinions. And over the 3 years since starting in on audio topics, I've received many more direct emails from guys than I ever did doing woodworking online.
Of course this isn't my first experience dealing with people remotely on the topic. I was a member on an audio forum for several years more than 10 years ago and had my first tastes of how seriously guys involved in audio take the subject.
And I get it, I do. Passion about a subject drives you to take all of the things you think you know about it more seriously. And then that deeper interest means that you will be more upset when your opinions are challenged. Like I said in the video, it can back you into a corner when you find you don't have the facts to effectively defend your beliefs.

indulging bad ideas. Leaving room for doubt when a bad idea goes unchallenged. "A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth has got its boots on".
People don't want the truth. They want what they like to believe to be true. That's why they are so receptive to bad ideas.
Look at the trending issues of the day in the world at large and at the root of them you'll find bad ideas being indulged by people who should know better.
And audio is no different, and I'm not just talking about the subjective side of it and the magical thinking that most of those engage in.

Regarding me selling speakers: 100% of the reason why I'd get into it is because I love designing and building speakers. And selling a limited run would be a great way to do that more regularly.
I would have to make money from it, but there are MUCH better ways for me to make money, so that wouldn't be the motivating factor.
