Thanks for this story.
This fellow might indeed be onto something but the quest to duplicate the Stradivari sound has been ongoing for centuries.
The fact that the audience picked this fellow's instrument over the Stradivarius is not surprising.
Most people would prefer the sound of two dollar ear buds to that of a pair of Ohm Fs.
It's the phenomena that allows us to talk on crappy sounding cell phones without putting up much of a fuss?

Audio anachronism alert! I haven't heard references made to Ohm's Walsh drivers in a long time. I listened to these extensively about 25 years ago. They were truly a unique pioneering design with their own set of unique flaws, but the "Cool" factor was off the charts.

Ohm's Walsh

B&W are the only speakers that have ever blown me away, even after listening to a lot of Infinity, Klipsch and JBL (even their pro line). I couldn't believe that much beautiful sound was coming out of those small 800 series speakers.

While snobbish, your point is right on.
