Chris, PLEASE come back in front of the camera! We all liked your video's and: WE WANT MORE!
Chris's abundance of knowledge brings such clarity in a field where the discourse is often muddy. He appreciates nuance, he knows the science and the art, and he's a good communicator! More Chris, please! In whatever form he prefers
Yes Lunch with Paul more please!
I would love to see a “lunch with Chris” series.
Always enjoyed the lunch with Darren videos.
Is there a new new engineer on the team to take over for Darren?
If so maybe a lunch video with that person would be interesting with regards to new products.
Chris was awesome to meet at Axpona, it was a pleasure to meet him.
We want more Chris Brunhaver hell yes....and more Paul .
MORE CHRIS !! .... MORE CHRIS !! ... MORE CHRIS !! The crowd goes wild !!
I had the absolute pleasure to meet Chris at AXPONA. After hearing a couple of different FR Series I had to seek him out simply to congratulate him on his accomplishment. Asking him questions would have been pointless because I probably would have not understood the technical aspects but what I did understand very clearly is what his work did for my ears. Most people go to work every day, me included, and just work. Others like Chris, humbly create amazing things.
C’on Chris. We love Paul for what he does, and we love you too! More, more ☺️
In these videos, if they are presented as a conversation between Chris and Paul, say sitting in a couple chairs, and Chris answers the question of the day, that might help. He answers to Paul but really is answering to the audience. Sort of like a guest on a talk show.
He’s not only a brilliant engineer he’s a nice guy. I think people in your community like him very much.
I can tell you first hand that Paul is right, Chris is a treasure trove of information about all things audio, and video also. When Paul and Chris came to set my new FR 30’s up when I was lucky enough to get one of the first in the US. We went out to dinner later in the day and Chris carried most of the conversation, not Paul, which is surprising because he likes to talk. Chris was very insightful about why he chose certain things on the FR 30’s and what he wanted to do on the rest of the line. He is a wealth of knowledge that would be a great addition to the You Tube channel.
I love the way Chris explains things. He brings the information down so everyone understands what he is trying to convey. So please do more talks. You help alot of people. Thank you.
He may be shy, but he is outgoing when you meet him face to face. So, yes, morre lunch with Paul and Chris.
Agreed - all speaker related questions should be answered by Chris. He's great! Nothing against you Paul.
Bring Lunch with Paul series with chris back :) those talks are gold :)
YES!!!....Lunch With Paul was very fun, easy watching and informative.
Chris, get over here! haha
What a perfect idea. Chris, you are the man.
Oh yes, please more of Chris Brunhaver on this most intresting subject of loudspeaker design!
Remember, not everyone is comfortable being in front of the camera, and we must respect that.
Hey Paul: What about a round table video with your geniuses…. Will be interesting!
sounds like a compromise is needed. i remember the _Lunch with Paul_ series w/Chris.
he did far better than when he flies solo. so what about when you get a speaker design question, you moderate while Chris answers?
Have you forgotten about one of the all time greats! Arnie Nudell. How soon we forget.
Paul Sir is a good person, he honestly gives reply peoples.
Love you Paul Sir ❤🙏
I've never seen Chris. A table between y'all and a cup of coffee sounds like the way to go. Or go late night talk show style.
Yes , loudspeaker design , specialized subject on itself .
Chris has always shared great insights especially when it comes to speaker designs. His explanations are often effortless and clear. It would be great for him to share more videos. Kudos on the Aspen Series of Speakers Chris! 👍
Nice one, Paul. I. too, love hearing Chris talk about speakers and am looking forward to hearing him discuss the yet-to-be-released FR5s
Greetings from Germany
I´m so happy with my FR30, as long as they don´t break I will never buy anything else. Beating these great speakers "clearly" would cost such a huge amount of money, somebody has to put the brakes at some point, all together is in a crazy area anyway, crazy
Powerplant20 doing its job really well too, totally happy with it.
With the electronics I did go another way, Playback Designs MPD-8 as DAC and MPT-8 as Transport (CD, SACD/Streamer) driven by Jeff Rowland 625 S2 and Capri S2 SC .
My dealer was astonished, he has the same Speakers at his place driven by psaudio amps and their SACD-transport, DAC was the big MSB Reference and he said my chain sounds even better
UA-cam isn’t for everyone though. Depends why he doesn’t do it - if it’s because he doesn’t want to maybe leave him to do what he loves doing the most. But if he’s up for it… absolutely we want to hear from him!
+1 for having more Chris, but I completely respect and understand why may not want to be front and centre in public. (I wanted to make a pun about there not being a centre speaker yet, but everything I was coming up with was Sub-par)
Chris is very good both on screen and on mic.. I love the episodes he is in on Darren and Duncan's hifi podcast.. BTW, the episode your on, Paul is good to. Need more of both! :) We need Darren back to on the videos.. even tough he is no longer in PS Audio :)
Come on Chris, share your knowledge. Please!
Other than Paul the only 2 that at least respond and chime in with valuable information on the PS Audio forums are James and Chris. I really appreciate their feedback and wish we could see more of the both of them. Bring it on Paul 👍
Chris, I want to become a Speaker Designer myself. Please help me with your Knowhow
Well i would love to start the journey of speakers design, and if he can come up and talk about the experience and how we can jump in will be amazing
Chris please!
Its not easy putting yourself out there, for the vast majority of folks thats the way it goes. Whether its feeling shy or thinking the endeavor is silly. I know some friends who simply have trouble hearing/seeing themselves on film/recording.
Come on Chris! Please 🙏
Chris, PLEASE come back in front of the camera! yes do explaine the Speakers
Consider saving any questions that come in that have anything to do with speakers, design, placement, room treatments etc, for maybe a once per week or once per month video with Chris. Just sit next to each other one camera and pose the questions to him. Maybe after a while he will get more comfortable in front of the camera in that format and find a way to do a weekly video on his own in a format he is comfortable with.
Chris has my dream job.
I'm hearing music and notes continuing longer as the sound fades at the end of tracks, beyond what used to be the end of the track. Not playing my system any louder, and my system hasn't gotten a better signal to noise ratio al of a sudden. What's most impressive is these are tracks I've played nearly 100 times over the years. Increased resolution from tweaking is really fun.Tracks continuing several seconds longer at the end is something I've never heard anyone comment on, but it happens when you are really getting somewhere. I think that's why we picked up Stereophile and TAS every month, even though we couldn't afford to buy the equipment reviewed. We could sometimes picture some new quality of the sound that the reviewer was describing, as more advanced equipment opened up new sonic vistas that were never experienced before. Like sharing a journey with us, into totally new territory. Have all the analogies and adjectives been used up? How many video reviewers take our minds to places like they sometimes could in print?
Have any of you lucky six figure souls gotten to the pinnacle? Is it a place that's truly worth getting to? And why not tell us all about it. Not in descriptions like better clarity, better soundstage etc., but REALLY... what it's like. Just how different of a place is it? And experience wise, what is so different about it?
No one is claiming to be FIRST today. It kind of throws everything out of whack on here, don't it?
I'm not sure I am the person that should respond. If the qualifications to properly respond are to be an Engineer, designer, or a six figure soul, that has reached the pinnacle. I am unqualified on all fronts. If loving the idea of this conversation qualifies me, I'm in.
I will put it this way. For my entire life I have never (including now) liked opera music. I would hear people talk about how moving it was and the expressionism, the subtilties, blah blah blah. When it came to Stereo listening, I could at least relate to so called good or bad sound and that's where it stopped. If I heard something I liked, obviously it was good, Right? but I had no idea why.
As a kid I loved listening to music for hours. It took me away from the stress of life. Life priorities then took over. A career, Wife, Kids and a home consumed my time and money. About 5 years ago I reconnected with a high school buddy that loved music listening as much as I did and was inspired by my dad's very modest system from the late 70's and early 80's. For twenty-five plus years he proceeded to put together one of the most impressive systems I've ever read about and one thousand times better than anything I have ever seen in a personal home. After getting a chance to sit and listen for a number of days while catching up, it hit me like a brick. I now fully understood how people could describe opera in ways that impacted them. (I'm still in the what's the fuss camp, its opera)
How do you describe to someone seeing the Grand Canyon? I don't believe you truly can the same way I do not believe I can explain what I heard. In exactly zero seconds, I was fully aware that my friend's system would never be afforded in my home. That being said, I set out to put together a system I could enjoy knowing I was just settling. For the first time in my life the stars aligned, and things went in my favor. Even getting used equipment, I am humbly aware that the system I put together is far above my knowledge and pay grade. It turned out that I found the same speakers at less than a quarter the price as new. I then got some quality equipment to drive them. To my absolute shock I now truly believe my system is better than my friends. Not because it is but because this one is in my house. When you spoke of hearing things never previously heard I knew exactly what you were expressing. because of the time I have invested in set up placement and researching and a lot of listening, I have heard far greater things in my own home than I ever did at my friends, only because of the time at my home versus his. Once you hear something you know what to listen for. I now hear things in my crappy car stereo because I know to listen for it. No, it's not as good clean clear or whatever adjective you can use but it's made better by knowing the sound is there.
The elusive "pinnacle"
If you were to multiply my net worth by a thousand, I am not sure I could get and have the perfect system. In the audiophile world my system is moderately nice. In the real world it's ridiculous. I have rapidly discovered that most of the average populous feels the exact same way about me and the love of the sound I hear the exact same way I look at fans of the opera. (they're nuts spending that kind of money for that entertainment.) Now that I have a very revealing system, I struggle with the idea of listening because I like the music or listening because I like the sound of the recording. Listening for the sound of the recording has opened up a world of music I would not have otherwise listened to. (No, not opera, that and rap still are not listenable.) The curse of the pinnacle search is that when you go from various recordings from one artist let alone different artists and engineering styles. Not one system can make all of them the tonality and presentation that I prefer. I went from zero to obsession and slowly learned that transitioning to appreciation for what is in front of your ears can make for some really nice plateaus.
Happy Listening.
Just call this series of videos Coffee with Chris.
More lunch with Chris. Nothing against you, Paul, I always enjoy your talks, but I miss your Chris lunches
oh this is going to backfire, poor Chris
If he doesn't want to do it, he shouldn't do it, and no one else should complain about it.
I really enjoy watching Chris talk and teach as well. I'd like to see more, BUT...not at the cost of having less Paul videos. So you'll have to just do more videos....
Paul please showcase all your employees during a lunch with Paul.
When I started my channel, I found it incredibly difficult to talk to camera (camera shy if you like) and if you watch some of my earliest videos vs laterones you can see the journey of becoming "comfortable on camera". SO, you hinted at it - maybe the trick is to do it together, interview style. That way he's talking to you and not the camera. That might work.
You may do a format like Bill Maher does with his "Club Random Podcast" - very casual and relaxed (maybe without the pot stuff). 😉
Chris sounds like a really awesome guy
This puts chris in a corner..its hard for him to discuss much other than basic level theory. And I sure wont ask him anything to find out his angle on complex questions..if that makes sense..
I think hes more well rounded than most any other person with his knowledge..if its ok ill add that a lot of knowledge that the smart guys at bell labs were taught is no longer being taught..thats why I find every designer ..young and old and learn ..learn..learn..nobody agrees on everything and thats what makes this field special..
Sure, hearing directly from Chris is great, but if he prefers not to appear on UA-cam, good for him. To all those begging to have him put on camera, think about being asked to talk about your area of expertise on a worldwide video platform, available in perpetuity. And think also of the comment section: besides all the positive and constructive commentary, plenty of annoying, bad-faith comments from know-it-alls and pseudo-experts. These are just a couple of reasons why even someone who is good on camera, such as a Chris, might prefer to concentrate on working his magic behind the scenes.
It's OK to be camera shy, so interview format for him would be more convinient, but not 1:1 with camera
Chris man, consider yourself nudged.
Go to his house lol
He will NEVER do that interview. To much proprietary info he will not want to slip and divulge in a nervous interview.
Who?
Put on the spot kinda pressure can be really intimidating but you can get used to it
How about this? Hey Chris do you like hundred dollar bills? i am joking of course.
Talking about the man’s personality and his reticence in a forum like this is not proper. If he is not comfortable, asking a bunch of subscribers to badger him is not the answer. Let the man do what he is comfortable doing.
Huh..
the JBL , brand , loudspeaker is the best US , made loudspeaker .
What we want is the AN line!!!
