As promised last week, here’s part 2 of my interview with JOHN DARKO to get his take on high end speakers (think hypercars in the speaker world) and room acoustics.

And thanks again to everyone who submitted a question!

No-one I know has heard more speakers than John, so using his breadth of knowledge we talk through the following questions:

- The general sound of different speaker brands and high end vs budget
- Tonal differences of cabinet materials
- How to tell if a speaker is actually better
- Is 1200€ enough for a speaker to mix and record?
- Acoustic treatment vs room correction software
- Match speaker size to room size for best mixing?
- Do you still need acoustic treatment when using room correction software?
- Is good sound quality only for the rich?
- Best split between treatment, speakers, gear and cables
- How to best learn your new space, speakers and headphones
- Why aren’t coaxial designs like Geithain seen as reference class?
