Aren't all of these gentleman, Paul Barton, Kevin Voecks, Floyd Toole, Sean Olive, Allan Devantier and Ian Paisley graduates of or at the least contributors to the psycho-acoustic loudspeaker research conducted at the NRC?
Along with Axioms own Ian Colquhoun and Andrew Welker of course! Aren't several of them associated with the continuing research at Harman International? As well as at PSB and at the former API.
