Jeremy shares how growing up around his father's hi-fi system led him to study electrical engineering at UT Austin and spend decades refining speaker design. The conversation dives deep into his Baltic birch, multi-angled cabinets built to reduce resonances and diffraction, his folded transmission line architecture that reaches down to 16Hz, and the differences between ceramic and beryllium drivers in the Waterloo and Wellington series. They also discuss active vs. passive designs using Hypex amplification and DSP, the innovative three-way Waterloo Micro with dual opposed subwoofers, and what to expect from the new active Wellington Micro debuting at AXPONA. It's a technical yet passionate look at modern speaker design from a true audio obsessive.","meta_description":"On this episode of the AXPONA Audio Insider Podcast, Lenny Florentine sits down with Jeremy Porter of J Porter Studios to explore his lifelong obsession w…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1658,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/audio-insider-an-axpona-podcast-7109152/episodes/the-speaker-design-audiophiles-can-t-ignore/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/audio-insider-an-axpona-podcast-7109152/the-speaker-design-audiophiles-can-t-ignore.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
