Well, I suppose the misleading part of all this is actually calling
them square waves in th first place, as has been noted these do not
exist. There are other forms that can be used of course, the one sided
square, with a leading slope but a fast drop, and the inverse of this.
Then there are triangular waves of course, which sound almost as bad as
square waves.

If we limit the requirement to "within the meaning of the act", then
square waves are doable - to the same extent and for the same reasons as
triangular waves.

That is one of the things that I hope the webpage indicates. That the
'squarewave' needs to be in reality a practical form appropriate for a
given purpose. The snag being to assess what that means, and how to
interpet the results.

However, I do not think that most speaker wire tests are actually
testing the wire...


They certainly weren't when Ben Duncan did them...

Did you have
