Character "flaws" lol, no it's called enjoying life. Last night I was relistening to the adagio from Beethoven's op. 59/2 on my ESL57 and it was among the very best 15 minutes I'd experienced that week, nearly moved to tears. Of course thank Beethoven for that, but it was in no small part due to the most realistic sounding speakers I've heard for acoustic instruments. I removed my LSR 306 MK2 from my office with the intent to try the mono speaker experiment (haven't got around to it yet), so the next day I decided to play that string quartet again on the LSR 306 in stereo. Perfectly fine listening experience though with quite a few flaws (still the very greatest bargain in all of audio for what I paid), but overall a rather flat experience that had me pulling out my phone wondering what was going on with TSLA earnings, news, etc.
As for being threatened by ASR, what percent of people that are subjectivists actually become objectivists? If I put a number on it 5% might be generous. I've been on several hifi boards where they eventually create a science/measurements subforum and there is virtually no intermixing between the groups of people that post on that and the main forums.
I'd say the bigger reason I have seen people on the other side getting upset is the level of arrogance and not uncommonly flat out contempt people here have for others that aren't like them (I am not saying this is a one way street). Saying someone has "character flaws" might sound like a benign comment but it truly isn't.
And lest I be marked as some hardcore numpty subjectivist, my posts on ASR are nearly all about my primary interest in speakers, directivity, even bass response in room, etc. And I've read Toole's second edition cover to cover before this forum ever existed. I mostly realize that in life something is almost never a 1 or 0, and there is far more nuance to things than that.
