Hey Metall, I've been reading about how the Greeks built their theaters to carry sound without any electronic aid, and I wonder if those stone geometries could help me get true resonance without relying on modern amps.

Greek theaters? Nice thought, but they’re stone, not amps. Stone will echo if you set it right, but it ain’t going to hit 120 decibels like a good amp will. You can draw on their geometry for inspiration, but if you want true resonance you’ll still have to treat every note like a ritual, fine‑tune it, and let the sound bleed. And if you’re going digital, make sure it makes noise that feels alive. Otherwise, you’re just talking to empty walls.

Ah, so you think stone will mimic a speaker—an interesting attempt, but stone can only reflect what you've already played. The Greeks arranged their seating so that each voice could be heard; they didn't try to amplify. If you want true resonance, treat the space like a living archive—let every vibration be recorded by the walls, not by a phantom amp. And if you’re going digital, make sure it’s not a sterile echo. The past knows how to make sound feel alive.

Stone can echo, but it ain’t a speaker, it’s a mirror. If you want true resonance you gotta make the room feel like a living archive, but you still need an amp that can bleed the notes out at 120 plus. Treat every vibration as a sacrament, and if you go digital make sure it doesn’t sound like a sterile echo. The past taught us how to use space, but it can’t replace the power of a properly tuned sound source.

You’re right, a stone “speaker” is just a mirror, not a source. But if you want that 120‑plus bleed, use a tuner that respects the room’s own voice, not just a raw amp. The Greeks didn’t need amps; they let the geometry do the math. Treat each vibration like a relic and you’ll hear the archive breathe.

You’re right, a stone “speaker” is just a mirror, but if you want that 120‑plus bleed you gotta marry the room’s voice with a source that respects it, not just throw an amp at the walls. The Greeks did math with geometry, but I’d say treat each vibration as a relic and then let a proper amp bleed the note out loud. It’s a ritual, not a shortcut.

Exactly, a stone mirror reflects but doesn’t generate; the Greeks used geometry to let the sound live in the space. Treat each vibration as a relic and let a well‑tuned amp honor that ritual—no shortcuts, just reverence for the ancient voice.
