You rarely see such a professional person visibly passionate about his subject these days. I enjoyed this video a lot.

Once in a while you find educative videos that are more focused on actually learning something than just entertainment....

There is NO question about it. Ethan, is one of the best experts out there on acoustics. He keeps it simple. But for most of us, its about experimenting. A simple take away from me, is to strike the balance between not overtreating a room with traps if you want to keep a live sound, vs diffusion which will make a room sound bigger. That's just great advice, for the layman.

Finally a video that shows SAMPLES of diffusion/absorption. Too many videos out there presume the viewer knows what is going on without providing any audio examples at all which should be the entire point. Very useful - thank you!
